Spatial Memory

Also known as:  Spatial Learning;  Spatial Short-Term Memory;  Spatial Working Memory;  Visuo-Spatial Working Memory

Spatial Memory is an aspect of Short-Term Memory that involves the ability to memorize one’s position in space.  This form of Memory is useful for perceptuo-motor tracking and immediate recall of visually presented patterns.  An example of Spatial Memory is the ability to construct three-dimensional figures from a paper design.  Other examples of Spatial Memory include the ability to navigate a maze;  and to have a “sense of direction”.

Alkaloids

 Galanthamine may help to reverse the impairment in Spatial Memory that occurs as a result of excessive long-term Alcohol (ethanol) consumption.  ^[1]
