Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Zen and the Brain: Mutually Illuminating Topics

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
Zen Buddhist meditative practices emphasize the long-term, mindful training of attention and awareness during one’s ordinary daily-life activities, the shedding of egocentric behaviors, and the skillful application of one’s innate compassionate resources

Hippocampal Subfield Volumetry and Navigation in Congenital Blindness

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The hippocampus is essential for efficient navigation. Although lack of visual experience from birth induces volumetric and structural modifications to the hippocampus, tactile and auditory navigation remain partially preserved in congenitally blind (CB) individuals.

Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), Leaves Virtual Navigation Performance Unchanged

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Spatial cognition is an umbrella term used to refer to the complex set of abilities necessary to encode, categorize, and use spatial information from the surrounding environment to move effectively and orient within it. Experimental studies indicate that

Influence of Pre‐Service Teachers' Spatial Activity Interests Shape Spatial Anxiety, Perspective Taking, and Mistakes

European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the pre‐service teachers' interest in spatial activities and whether their spatial anxieties were related to their spatial perspective‐taking abilities. Additionally, the study aimed to describe pre‐service teachers' mistakes in spatial perspective‐taking and the types of activities they were most interested in.

How semantic context and temporal dynamics affect egocentric and allocentric spatial representations

Scientific Reports
Pouring water from a bottle into a glass requires representing their relative spatial positions (spatial information) and knowing that such objects are found together, or one by one (temporal dynamics), in typical contexts, such as a kitchen (semantic ...

Ongoing egocentric spatial processing during learning of non-spatial information results in temporal-parietal activity during retrieval.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
Deficits in amnesic patients suggest that spatial cognition and episodic memory are intimately related. Among the different types of spatial processing, the allocentric, relying on the hippocampal formation and the egocentric-updated, relying on parieto ...

MapNet: An Allocentric Spatial Memory for Mapping Environments [PDF]

2018 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2018
Autonomous agents need to reason about the world beyond their instantaneous sensory input. Integrating information over time, however, requires switching from an egocentric representation of a scene to an allocentric one, expressed in the world reference frame. It must also be possible to update the representation dynamically, which requires localizing

Representationalism and the Spatial Representational Contents of Afterimage Experiences

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 238-248, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Experiences of afterimages have often been cited as counterexamples to representationalism about vision, that is, as counterexamples to the thesis that the phenomenal character of a visual experience is completely determined by its representational content. In this paper, I discuss a possible counterexample to representationalism that is based

Impairment of human spatial orientation in the horizontal, but not the vertical plane, due to aging, cognitive decline, or chronic peripheral vestibular loss

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
IntroductionHumans and other vertebrates exhibit anisotropic orientation and navigation skills, with better performances in the horizontal compared to the vertical plane. While horizontal navigation accuracy decreases with higher age, less is known about
