Egocentric Dominance in Spatial Representations: The Role of Environmental Familiarity in Building Cognitive Maps. [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Behav
Through virtual park exploration and fMRI, this study shows humans favor egocentric frames in spatial processing. RSC and PPA support egocentric encoding, while EC exhibited significant sex differences in neural pattern similarity in the fully familiar condition, highlighting individual and environmental influences on cognitive map construction ...

Landmark-based spatial navigation across the human lifespan

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Human spatial cognition has been mainly characterized in terms of egocentric (body-centered) and allocentric (world-centered) wayfinding behavior. It was hypothesized that allocentric spatial coding, as a special high-level cognitive ability, develops ...

Allocentric Pose Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, 2013
The task of object pose estimation has been a challenge since the early days of computer vision. To estimate the pose (or viewpoint) of an object, people have mostly looked at object intrinsic features, such as shape or appearance. Surprisingly, informative features provided by other, external elements in the scene, have so far mostly been ignored.

Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Show Alteration in their Visuospatial Abilities and in their Egocentric and Allocentric Spatial Orientation Measured by Card Placing Tests

open access: yesJournal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2020
Background: Visuospatial skills are impaired in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Other related skills exist, such as spatial orientation have been poorly studied.

Egocentrism, allocentrism, and Asperger syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesConsciousness and Cognition, 2005
In this paper, we attempt to make a distinction between egocentrism and allocentrism in social cognition, based on the distinction that is made in visuo-spatial perception. We propose that it makes a difference to mentalizing whether the other person can be understood using an egocentric ("you") or an allocentric ("he/she/they") stance.

Effects of Prism Adaptation on Reference Systems for Extrapersonal Space in Neglect Patients

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2019
Up to now, rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect has focused on egocentric forms of neglect, whereas less is known about the possibility to improve allocentric deficits.

A Principle for Learning Egocentric-Allocentric Transformation [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2008
Numerous single-unit recording studies have found mammalian hippocampal neurons that fire selectively for the animal's location in space, independent of its orientation. The population of such neurons, commonly known as place cells, is thought to maintain an allocentric, or orientation-independent, internal representation of the animal's location in ...

Men’s and women’s egocentric and allocentric knowledge: The involvement of mental rotation ability and spatial beliefs

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Individual factors can play a relevant role in explaining gender differences in environmental learning in terms of visuospatial abilities and beliefs about spatial abilities, such as stereotypes and growth mindset about navigation ability. In this study,

Perceptual History Acts in World-Centred Coordinates

open access: yesi-Perception, 2021
Serial dependence effects have been observed using a variety of stimuli and tasks, revealing that the recent past can bias current percepts, leading to increased similarity between two.

Egocentric and allocentric spatial memory in healthy aging: performance on real-world tasks

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2019
Although normal aging has been related to several cognitive difficulties, other processes have been studied less, such as spatial memory. Our aim was to compare egocentric and allocentric memory in an elderly population using ecological tasks.
