Collaborating in spatial tasks: How partners coordinate their spatial memories and descriptions
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2013)We summarize findings from a study examining whether the availability of the conversational partner's spatial viewpoint influences the speaker's spatial memories, description strategies, their joint efficiency and accuracy ...

Collaborating in spatial tasks: Partners adapt the perspective of their descriptions, coordination strategies, and memory representations
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2012)The partner’s viewpoint influences spatial descriptions and, when strongly emphasized, spatial memories as well. We examined whether partner specific information affects the representations people spontaneously construct, ...

The conversational partner's perspective affects spatial memory and descriptions
Galati, Alexia; Michael, C.; Mello, C.; Greenauer, N. M.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2013)We examined whether people spontaneously represent the partner’s viewpoint in spatial memory when it is available in advance and whether they adapt their spontaneous descriptions accordingly. In 18 pairs, Directors studied ...

Coordinating in spatial perspective-taking: how speakers' description strategies affect their partners' memory representations

Article
Do Aligned Bodies Align Minds? The Partners’ Body Alignment as a Constraint on Spatial Perspective Use
Galati, Alexia; Symeonidou, Angela; Avraamides, Marios N. (2020)In a direction-giving task, we examine whether a high-level constraint—the task partners’ relative body alignment—influences spatial language use and task accuracy. In 32 pairs, task partners interacted in two conditions: ...

Do environmental characteristics predict spatial memory about unfamiliar environments?
Pagkratidou, Marianna; Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios (2020)Using Space Syntax techniques, we examined the relationship between environmental properties and spatial memory following navigation in a virtual environment. Participants navigated two main routes as well as two connector ...

Dynamic Strategy Selection in Collaborative Spatial Tasks
Galati, Alexia; Panagiotou, Elisavet; Tenbrink, Thora; Avraamides, Marios N. (2018)When speakers coordinate with one another, they have available a range of alternatives for conceptualizing and describing spatial relationships. To understand the features of successful communication in collaborative spatial ...

Egocentric updating of remote locations
Avraamides, Marios N.; Galati, Alexia; Papadopoulou, C. (2013)The study examined whether people update remote spatial locations in unfamiliar environments during physical movement. Participants learned a layout of objects from one perspective and carried out perspective-taking trials ...

Article
Encoding and updating spatial information presented in narratives
Avraamides, Marios N.; Galati, Alexia; Pazzaglia, F.; Meneghetti, C.; Denis, Michel (2013)Four experiments investigated whether directional spatial relations encoded by reading narratives are updated following described protagonist rotations. Participants memorized locations of objects described in short stories ...

Article
Flexible spatial perspective-taking: Conversational partners weigh multiple cues in collaborative tasks
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2013)Research on spatial perspective-taking often focuses on the cognitive processes of isolated individuals as they adopt or maintain imagined perspectives. Collaborative studies of spatial perspective-taking typically examine ...

Article
Integration of Spatial Relations across Perceptual Experiences
Avraamides, Marios N.; Adamou, Christina; Galati, Alexia; Kelly, Jonathan W. (2012)People often carry out tasks that entail coordinating spatial information encoded in temporally and/or spatially distinct perceptual experiences. Much research has been conducted to determine whether such spatial information ...

Article
The protagonist's first perspective influences the encoding of spatial information in narratives
Hatzipanayioti, Adamantini; Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2016)Three experiments examined the first-perspective alignment effect that is observed when retrieving spatial information from memory about described environments. Participants read narratives that described the viewpoint of ...

Sensorimotor interference in reasoning from imagined perspectives

Article
Signatures of cognitive difficulty in perspective-taking: is the egocentric perspective always the easiest to adopt?
Galati, Alexia; Diavastou, Anthi; Avraamides, Marios N. (2018)In a series of experiments we examined factors that contribute to the difficulty of spatial perspective-taking and influence perspective selection. Listeners received instructions to select an object from a speaker whose ...

Article
Social and representational cues jointly influence spatial perspective-taking
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2015)We examined how social cues (the conversational partner's viewpoint) and representational ones (the intrinsic structure of a spatial layout) jointly shape people's spatial memory representations and their subsequent ...

Article
Updating spatial relations to remote locations described in narratives
Hatzipanayioti, Adamantini; Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2016)In four experiments we examined whether sensorimotor encoding influences readers’ reasoning about spatial scenes acquired through narratives. Participants read a narrative that described the geometry of a store and then ...

Article
What’s so difficult with adopting imagined perspectives?
Avraamides, Marios N.; Hatzipanayioti, Adamantini; Galati, Alexia (2015)Research on spatial cognition suggests that transformation processes and/or spatial conflicts may influence performance on mental perspective-taking tasks. However, conflicting findings have complicated our understanding ...

When gestures show us the way: Co-thought gestures selectively facilitate navigation and spatial memory
Galati, Alexia; Weisberg, Steven M.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2018)How does gesturing during route learning relate to subsequent spatial performance? We examined the relationship between gestures produced spontaneously while studying route directions and spatial representations of the ...
