Functional assessments of short-term spatial memory in the Dog Aging Project identify strong associations with age that are not moderated by body mass

Stephanie H. Hargrave, Amber J. Keyser, Emma Kristal…·Evan L. MacLean

The paper develops two novel spatial memory tests for dogs and finds age-related cognitive decline is consistent across body sizes, suggesting no moderation by body mass.
