Composing egocentric and allocentric maps for flexible navigation. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology
Egocentric representations of the environment have historically been relegated to being used only for simple forms of spatial behaviour such as stimulus-response learning.

Cognitive load in switching between egocentric and allocentric spatial frames of reference: a pupillometry study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Every day we combine and switch between body-centered (egocentric) and object-centered (allocentric) spatial representations. Several studies so far have reported a greater difficulty to switch from an allocentric reference frame to an egocentric one ...

نظرية الأوصاف الخفية عند کيث دونيلان [PDF]

Maǧallaẗ Kulliyyaẗ Al-ādāb Ǧāmiʿaẗ Būrsaʿīd, 2022
قدّم "کيث دونيلان" تحليلًا للبُعد الأنطولوجي لنظرية الأوصاف يختلف عمَّا قدمه غيره من المناطقة وفلاسفة اللغة، وکان أبرز ذلک التحليل التمييز بين مايريد المتکلم الإشارة إليه بدقة، أو إسناد صفةٍ له، وبين الاستخدام الإحالي الدلالي، والاستخدام الإسنادي للأوصاف،

Older Adults Show Reduced Spatial Precision but Preserved Strategy-Use During Spatial Navigation Involving Body-Based Cues

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Older adults typically perform worse on spatial navigation tasks, although whether this is due to degradation of memory or an impairment in using specific strategies has yet to be determined.

Egocentric and Allocentric Reference Frames Can Flexibly Support Contextual Cueing

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
We investigated if contextual cueing can be guided by egocentric and allocentric reference frames. Combinations of search configurations and external frame orientations were learned during a training phase.

Egocentric and Allocentric Spatial Memory in Korsakoff’s Amnesia

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
The goal of the present study was to investigate spatial memory in a group of patients with amnesia due to Korsakoff’s syndrome (KS). We used a virtual spatial memory task that allowed us to separate the use of egocentric and allocentric spatial ...

A Critical Review of Spatial Abilities in Down and Williams Syndromes: Not All Space Is Created Equal

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Down syndrome (DS, Trisomy 21) and Williams syndrome (WS) are two neurodevelopmental disorders of genetic origin that are accompanied by mild to moderate intellectual disability but exhibit distinct cognitive profiles.

Egocentric and allocentric spatial memory in typically developed children: Is spatial memory associated with visuospatial skills, behavior, and cortisol?

Brain and Behavior, 2020
Introduction Spatial orientation relies mainly on two frameworks. The egocentric depends on our own position and point of view. The allocentric relies on remembering, recalling, and recognizing environmental stimuli called landmarks.

Efficiency of Sensory Substitution Devices Alone and in Combination With Self-Motion for Spatial Navigation in Sighted and Visually Impaired

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Human adults can optimally combine vision with self-motion to facilitate navigation. In the absence of visual input (e.g., dark environments and visual impairments), sensory substitution devices (SSDs), such as The vOICe or BrainPort, which translate ...
