Article Synopsis
- Some animals can remember important details about when and where they found food, which is called 'WWW' memory.

- They found that younger kids had a hard time making choices based on memory because they didn't understand that food can go bad over time, but older kids (7 years and up) started to show better memory and decision-making skills.
We investigated visual direction discrimination under the influence of motion aftereffect (MAE). Participants in each experiment first adapted to a horizontally drifting grating before deciding whether a drifting test grating moved to the left or right. A psychometric function was obtained as a function of the velocity of the test.
