Reference frames in virtual spatial navigation are viewpoint dependent

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Spatial navigation in the mammalian brain relies on a cognitive map of the environment. Such cognitive maps enable us, for example, to take the optimal route from a given location to a known target.

The Waggle Dance as an Intended Flight: A Cognitive Perspective [PDF]

, 2019
The notion of the waggle dance simulating a flight towards a goal in a walking pattern has been proposed in the context of evolutionary considerations. Behavioral components, like its arousing effect on the social community, the attention of hive mates ...

Preservationism in Memory

Ratio, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 10-16, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Preservationism in the philosophy of memory is dead, according to many. This opinion is not ill‐founded. It appears to be justified both by common sense and by empirical psychology. But in what follows we explain how and why an independently motivated form of preservationism, modal preservationism, survives.

Keep an eye on your hands: on the role of visual mechanisms in processing of haptic space [PDF]

, 2008
The present paper reviews research on a haptic orientation processing. Central is a task in which a test bar has to be set parallel to a reference bar at another location.

Executive Impairment in Huntington's Disease: Insights From a Systematic Review of the Literature

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Executive dysfunction in Huntington's disease follows a selective, stage‐dependent pattern, with early deficits in psychomotor speed, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, and working‐memory updating. Progression is associated with broader impairments in planning and attention.

Framing of grid cells within and beyond navigation boundaries

eLife, 2017
Grid cells represent an ideal candidate to investigate the allocentric determinants of the brain’s cognitive map. Most studies of grid cells emphasized the roles of geometric boundaries within the navigational range of the animal. Behaviors such as novel

Egocentric Spatial Representation in Action and Perception [PDF]

, 2008
Neuropsychological findings used to motivate the “two visual systems” hypothesis have been taken to endanger a pair of widely accepted claims about spatial representation in visual experience.

Are the deficits in navigational abilities present in the Williams syndrome related to deficits in the backward inhibition? [PDF]

, 2015
Williams syndrome (WS) is associated with a distinct profile of relatively proficient skills within the verbal domain compared to the severe impairment of visuo-spatial processing. Abnormalities in executive functions and deficits in planning ability and

Thinking of Oneself as Someone: The Structure of Self‐Representation

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract One question we can ask when investigating the nature of self‐representation concerns the types of property that must figure in its content. Here, authors have claimed that self‐representations must be about spatial, temporal, bodily, or mental properties.

Auditory spatial perception without vision

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Valuable insights into the role played by visual experience in shaping spatial representations can be gained by studying the effects of visual deprivation on the remaining sensory modalities.
