The delayed alternation version of the T-maze is designed to test spatial working memory will be used. In this task, there are 2 runs per trial. On the first, or sample run, the mouse is placed in the start arm of the T-maze and allowed to enter a goal arm. The mouse is then removed from the maze for a specified delay period. After the delay, the mouse is returned for the choice run, and will typically choose the alternate arm of the T. The Novel Object Recognition task will be used to evaluate…

Aristotle’s Teachings of Habituations’ Importance in Virtues and the Good Countless discussions have stormed concerning what makes an action good and what constitutes being virtuous.
