Do Aligned Bodies Align Minds? The Partners’ Body Alignment as a Constraint on Spatial Perspective Use
(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: ...
Signatures of cognitive difficulty in perspective-taking: is the egocentric perspective always the easiest to adopt?
(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 ...
Spatial memory reasoning at familiar vs. unfamiliar environments
(2018)
Recent findings in spatial cognition suggest that people store information about unfamiliar environments with a preferred orientation, based on factors such as the intrinsic structure of layout, the environmental structure, ...
Is your virtual self as sensational as your real? Virtual Reality: The effect of body consciousness on the experience of exercise sensations
(2019)
Objectives Past research has shown that Virtual Reality (VR) is an effective method for reducing the perception of pain and effort associated with exercise. As pain and effort are subjective feelings, they are influenced ...
Selection of macroreference frames in spatial memory
(2018)
Spatial memories are often hierarchically organized with different regions of space represented in unique clusters within the hierarchy. Each cluster is thought to be organized around its own microreference frame selected ...
When gestures show us the way: Co-thought gestures selectively facilitate navigation and spatial memory
(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 ...
Dynamic Strategy Selection in Collaborative Spatial Tasks
(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 ...
Distortions in Time Perception: How the Production Rate of Linguistic Stimuli Influences the Perception of Elapsed Time
(2020)
In this study we examined whether the exposure to speed-altered audio clips of speech-like stimuli can distort systematically the subjective sense of time. Participants listened to stimuli of varying durations and speeds ...
Orientation-dependent spatial memories for scenes viewed on mobile devices
(2020)
We examined whether spatial representations for scenes experienced on the screens of mobile devices are orientation dependent and whether the type of movement (physical vs. simulated) during learning affects the encoding ...
Sensorimotor interference when reasoning about described environments
(2007)
The influence of sensorimotor interference was examined in two experiments that compared pointing with iconic arrows and verbal responding in a task that entailed locating target-objects from imagined perspectives. ...
