rodent, non-human primates, and human beings. For rodents, the task can be modified to a delayed matching-to-place task in a Morris water maze (MWM), where a platform is located in an arm during a search trial, then after a delay the animal must return to the location of the platform during the search session. When ethanol administration occurs in the third trimester equivalent (gastronomy PND 6–9), these rats perform poorly on the matching-to-place task, at PND 35, PND 105, and PND 180, when the delay between the search and test trials is 2 h (233) though this task requires both intact working and spatial memory.
