The effects of sensorimotor cues on spatial reasoning performance
(2006)
A typical result in the spatial updating and the
perspective-taking literature is that performance suffers
when a target needs to be localized from a perspective
which is misaligned with the actual perspective of ...
Spatial frameworks in imagined navigation
(2006)
The spatial framework model proposes that people use the extensions of their body axes as a reference frame for encoding spatial layouts in memory, and that the physical and functional properties of our bodies and the world ...
The conversational partner's perspective affects spatial memory and descriptions
(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 ...
What Do the Hands Externalize in Simple Arithmetic?
(2007)
In 4 experiments, the authors examined the use of the hands in simple arithmetic tasks. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that pointing increases both accuracy and speed in counting arrays of items, whether those items are ...
Sensorimotor Alignment Effects in the Learning Environment and in Novel Environments
(2007)
Four experiments investigated the conditions contributing to sensorimotor alignment effects (i.e., the advantage for spatial judgments from imagined perspectives aligned with the body). Through virtual reality technology, ...
The protagonist's first perspective influences the encoding of spatial information in narratives
(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 ...
Integrating spatial information across experiences
(2013)
The current study examined the potential influence of existing spatial knowledge on the coding of new spatial information. In the Main experiment, participants learned the locations of five objects before completing a ...
Computational modeling of visual selective attention based on correlation and synchronization of neural activity
(2009)
Within the broad area of computational intelligence, it is of great importance to develop new computational models of human behaviour aspects. In this report we look into the recently suggested theory that neural synchronization ...
