  2. Spatial memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_memory

    The test can be used to measure both short-term and long-term spatial memory, depending on the length of time between test and recall. The test was created by Canadian neuropsychologist Phillip Corsi, who modeled it after Hebb's digit span task by replacing the numerical test items with spatial ones. On average, most participants achieve a span ...

    The same cells can be used for constructing several environments, though individual cells' relationships to each other may differ on a map by map basis. [8] The possible involvement of place cells in cognitive mapping has been seen in a number of mammalian species, including rats and macaque monkeys. [20]

  8. Immunological memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunological_memory

    Unlike the naive B cells involved in the primary immune response the memory B cell response is slightly different. The memory B cell has already undergone clonal expansion , differentiation and affinity maturation , so it is able to divide multiple times faster and produce antibodies with much higher affinity (especially IgG ).

  9. Discrete global grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_global_grid

    Each region or region-point in the grid is called a cell. When each cell of a grid is subject to a recursive partition, resulting in a "series of discrete global grids with progressively finer resolution", [2] forming a hierarchical grid, it is called a hierarchical DGG (sometimes "global hierarchical tessellation" [3] or "DGG system").
