Frontiers 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,

Facilitation of allocentric coding by virtue of object-semantics [PDF]
, 2019 In the field of spatial coding it is well established that we mentally represent objects for action not only relative to ourselves, egocentrically, but also relative to other objects (landmarks), allocentrically.

Large Perceptual Distortions Of Locomotor Action Space Occur In Ground-Based Coordinates: Angular Expansion And The Large-Scale Horizontal-Vertical Illusion [PDF]
, 2016 What is the natural reference frame for seeing large-scale spatial scenes in locomotor action space? Prior studies indicate an asymmetric angular expansion in perceived direction in large-scale environments: Angular elevation relative to the horizon is ...

Visual experience facilitates allocentric spatial representation [PDF]
Behavioural Brain Research, 2013 Representing the position of the objects independently from our own position is a fundamental cognitive ability. Here we investigated whether this ability depends on visual experience. Congenitally blind, late blind and blindfolded sighted participants haptically learnt a room-sized regularly shaped array of objects, and their spatial memory was tested

Perceptual History Acts in World-Centred Coordinates
i-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 Reference Frame Bias In The Palmar Haptic Perception Of Surface Orientation [PDF]
, 2014 The effect of egocentric reference frames on palmar haptic perception of orientation was investigated in vertically separated locations in a sagittal plane. Reference stimuli to be haptically matched were presented either haptically (to the contralateral

Enhancing allocentric spatial recall in pre-schoolers through navigational training programme [PDF]
, 2017 Unlike for other abilities, children do not receive systematic spatial orientation training at school, even though navigational training during adulthood improves spatial skills.

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

Egocentric and Allocentric Representations in Auditory Cortex [PDF]
PLOS Biology, 2017 AbstractA key function of the brain is to provide a stable representation of an object’s location in the world. In hearing, sound azimuth and elevation are encoded by neurons throughout the auditory system and auditory cortex is necessary for sound localization.

Challenges for identifying the neural mechanisms that support spatial navigation: the impact of spatial scale. [PDF]
, 2014 Spatial navigation is a fascinating behavior that is essential for our everyday lives. It involves nearly all sensory systems, it requires numerous parallel computations, and it engages multiple memory systems.
