Analysis of learning strategies has proved that amphibians, as many other groups, are capable of spatial orientation using either a turn strategy (own body reference) or a guide strategy (use of a visual cue or beacon) and that distance between this visual cue and the reinforcer has an effect on the learning rate. Use of two or more visual cues (landmarks) was also evaluated in relation with what was initially called a “cognitive map”.

Este artículo presenta información actualizada acerca de las estrategias y bases neurales del aprendizaje espacial, poniendo especial énfasis en la información que se dispone en anfibios. El análisis de las estrategias de aprendizaje ha demostrado que los anfibios, al igual que muchos otros grupos, son capaces de orientarse utilizando tanto una estrategia de giro (tomando como referencia su propio cuerpo) como de guía (usando una clave visual cercana o faro) y que la distancia de esta clave visual al reforzador posee un efecto sobre la tasa de aprendizaje. También se evalúa el uso de dos o más claves visuales ambientales de referencia y su relación con lo que inicialmente se llamó “mapa cognitivo”. Con respecto a las bases neurales, se resalta el papel fundamental del pallium medial (área homóloga al hipocampo de mamíferos) para la orientación espacial en anfibios, pero se cuestiona que su equivalencia funcional sea completa.
