Are allocentric spatial reference frames compatible with theories of Enactivism? [PDF]
Psychological Research, 2017 AbstractTheories of Enactivism propose an action-oriented approach to understand human cognition. So far, however, empirical evidence supporting these theories has been sparse. Here, we investigate whether spatial navigation based on allocentric reference frames that are independent of the observer’s physical body can be understood within an action ...

The Impact of Vision Loss on Allocentric Spatial Coding
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Several works have demonstrated that visual experience plays a critical role in the development of allocentric spatial coding. Indeed, while children with a typical development start to code space by relying on allocentric landmarks from the first year ...

Path Integration Changes as a Cognitive Marker for Vascular Cognitive Impairment?—A Pilot Study [PDF]
, 2020 Path integration spatial navigation processes are emerging as promising cognitive markers for prodromal and clinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, such path integration changes have been less explored in Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI), despite ...

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 ...

Giving a helping hand: effects of joint attention on mental rotation of body parts [PDF]
, 2011 Research on joint attention has addressed both the effects of gaze following and the ability to share representations. It is largely unknown, however, whether sharing attention also affects the perceptual processing of jointly attended objects.

Human Brain Dynamics Accompanying Use of Egocentric and Allocentric Reference Frames during Navigation [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010 Abstract Maintaining spatial orientation while travelling requires integrating spatial information encountered from an egocentric viewpoint with accumulated information represented within egocentric and/or allocentric reference frames.

Flexible Use of Spatial Frames of Reference for Object–Location Memory in Older Adults
Brain Sciences, 2021 In memory, representations of spatial features are stored in different reference frames; features relative to our position are stored egocentrically and features relative to each other are stored allocentrically.

Age-related effects on spatial memory across viewpoint changes relative to different reference frames [PDF]
, 2015 Remembering object positions across different views is a fundamental competence for acting and moving appropriately in a large-scale space. Behavioural and neurological changes in elderly subjects suggest that the spatial representations of the ...

Allocentric or craniocentric representation of acoustic space: an electrotomography study using mismatch negativity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The world around us appears stable in spite of our constantly moving head, eyes, and body. How this is achieved by our brain is hardly understood and even less so in the auditory domain. Using electroencephalography and the so-called mismatch negativity,
