Hippocampal lesions can enhance discrimination learning despite normal sensitivity to interference from incidental information.
Spatial properties of stimuli are sometimes encoded even when incidental to the demands of a particular learning task. Incidental encoding of spatial information may interfere with learning by (i) causing a failure to generalize learning between trials in which a cue is presented in different spatia...
