Effects of Spatial Reference Frames, Map Dimensionality, and Navigation Modes on Spatial Orientation Efficiency

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2023
How can the interactive mode of a map be optimized to facilitate efficient positioning and improve cognitive efficiency? This paper addresses this crucial aspect of map design.

The spatial requirements of the left-hand rule: a novel instrument for assessing the coordination of egocentric and allocentric frames of reference

open access: yesInternational Journal of Science Education, 2023
This paper explores the spatial dimension of Fleming’s Left Hand Rule (LHR), commonly-used in Physics instruction for determining the direction of force using the left hand’s thumb, forefinger and middle finger.

Decreased utilization of allocentric coordinates during reaching movement in individuals with autism spectrum disorder

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Despite numerous reports of abnormalities in limb motor controls in spatial orientation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. We studied the influence of allocentric coordinates on ongoing

Flexible Use of Spatial Frames of Reference for Object–Location Memory in Older Adults

open access: yesBrain 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.

Different strategies for spatial updating in yaw and pitch path integration

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Research in spatial navigation revealed the existence of discrete strategies defined by the use of distinct reference frames during virtual path integration.

Allocentric or craniocentric representation of acoustic space: an electrotomography study using mismatch negativity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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,

Spatial task context makes short-latency reaches prone to induced Roelofs illusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The perceptual localization of an object is often more prone to illusions than an immediate visuomotor action towards that object. The induced Roelofs effect (IRE) probes the illusory influence of task-irrelevant visual contextual stimuli on the ...

Contribution of cognitive and bodily navigation cues to egocentric and allocentric spatial memory in hallucinations due to Parkinson's disease: A case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Parkinson's disease (PD) manifestations can include visual hallucinations and illusions. Recent findings suggest that the coherent integration of bodily information within an egocentric representation could play a crucial role in these phenomena ...

Emergent spatial goals in an integrative model of the insect central complex.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2023
The insect central complex appears to encode and process spatial information through vector manipulation. Here, we draw on recent insights into circuit structure to fuse previous models of sensory-guided navigation, path integration and vector memory ...

Learning a Path from Real Navigation: The Advantage of Initial View, Cardinal North and Visuo-Spatial Ability

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Background: Spatial cognition research strives to maximize conditions favoring environment representation. This study examined how initial (egocentric) navigation headings interact with allocentric references in terms of world-based information (such as ...
