Facilitation of allocentric coding by virtue of object-semantics [PDF]
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.

Neural correlates of egocentric and allocentric frames of reference combined with metric and non-metric spatial relations [PDF]
Spatial relations (SRs: coordinate/metric vs categorical/non metric) and frames of reference (FoRs: egocentric/body vs allocentric/external element) represent the building blocks underlying any spatial representation. In the present 7-T fMRI study we have identified for the first time the neural correlates of the spatial representations emerging from ...

Different reference frames are used in daily life in order to structure the environment. The two-choice Simon task setting has been used to investigate how task-irrelevant spatial information influences human cognitive control.

Self-motion and the perception of stationary objects [PDF]
One of the ways we perceive shape is through seeing motion. Visual motion may be actively generated (for example, in locomotion), or passively observed.

Transsaccadic Coding of Object Position: Effects of Saccadic Status and Allocentric Reference Frame
When we move our eyes to examine new regions of interest in a visual scene, object position on the retina shifts and the question is raised whether and how we keep track of an object’s position across a saccade. Verfaillie and colleagues (1997; Verfaillie & De Graef, 2000) demonstrated that transsaccadic memory for object position is poor, but can ...

The structure of frontoparallel haptic space is task dependent [PDF]
In three experiments, we investigated the structure of frontoparallel haptic space. In the first experiment, we asked blindfolded participants to rotate a matching bar so that it felt parallel to the reference bar, the bars could be at various positions ...

The current theories on episodic memory suggest a crucial role of spatial processing for an effective retrieval. When prompted by a retrieval cue, the full past scene can be retrieved through the process of pattern completion.

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