Y-maze experiment

The Y-maze is primarily used to assess discriminative learning, working memory, and reference memory in animals. It consists of three identical arms, each terminating in a food‑delivery apparatus. By analyzing the animal’s foraging strategy—such as the number of entries into each arm, the duration spent in each arm, the number of correct and incorrect choices, and the path taken—researchers can evaluate the subject’s spatial memory capabilities. Compared with the eight‑arm maze, the Y‑maze is simpler, more practical, and easier to implement, making it widely employed for evaluating learning and memory functions.
