Structured Perceptual Input Imposes an Egocentric Frame of Reference—Pointing, Imagery, and Spatial Self-Consciousness

open access: closedPerception, 2005
Perceptual input imposes and maintains an egocentric frame of reference, which enables orientation. When blindfolded, people tended to mistake the assumed intrinsic axes of symmetry of their immediate environment (a room) for their own egocentric relation to features of the room. When asked to point to the door and window, known to be at mid-points of

Effect of egocentric and allocentric reference frames on spatial-numerical associations

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2023
From an embodied view of cognition, sensorimotor mechanisms are strongly involved in abstract processing, such as Arabic number meanings. For example, spatial cognition can influence number processing. These spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) have been deeply explored since the seminal SNAs of response code (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right ...

In search of biased egocentric reference frames in neglect

Neuropsychologia, 1998
The present study was aimed at assessing, by means of visual as well as proprioceptive-kinaesthetic straight-ahead tasks, the possible causal role of the ipsilesional deviation of the egocentric reference frame in determining neglect syndrome. The hypothesis, originally proposed by Ventre et al.

Remembering Object Position in the Absence of Vision: Egocentric, Allocentric, and Egocentric Decentred Frames of Reference

Perception, 2007
In three experiments we examined whether memory for object locations in the peripersonal space in the absence of vision is affected by the correspondence between encoding and test either of the body position or of the reference point. In particular, the study focuses on the distinction between different spatial representations, by using a paradigm in ...

Intrinsic frames of reference and egocentric viewpoints in scene recognition

Cognition, 2008
Three experiments investigated the roles of intrinsic directions of a scene and observer's viewing direction in recognizing the scene. Participants learned the locations of seven objects along an intrinsic direction that was different from their viewing direction and then recognized spatial arrangements of three or six of these objects from different ...

The role of vision in egocentric and allocentric spatial frames of reference

Cognitive Processing, 2009
IntroductionSpatial frames of reference are necessary to encode and torepresent the position of objects in space. Egocentricframes define spatial information in relation to the body,while allocentric ones use external landmarks (e.g. Paillard1991).

The effect of age on egocentric and allocentric spatial frames of reference

Cognitive Processing, 2009
IntroductionLittle is known about the developmental course of spatialmemory, although this topic would be of clinical andtheoretical relevance. Spatial memory plays a fundamentalrole in everyday human activities, like way-finding, localizingplaces or grasping objects.

Spatial egocentrism and the effect of an alternate frame of reference

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1980
Abstract The present study contrasted two possible explanations of spatial egocentrism in spatial perspective tasks. By one account children's judgments in perspectivetaking tasks are based on relations between the self (ego) and the target array.

Egocentric Action in Early Infancy: Spatial Frames of Reference for Saccades

Psychological Science, 1997
The extent to which infants combine visual (i e, retinal position) and nonvisual (eye or head position) spatial information in planning saccades relates to the issue of what spatial frame or frames of reference influence early visually guided action We explored this question by testing infants from 4 to 6 months of age on the double-step saccade ...

Qualitative Motion Representation in Egocentric and Allocentric Frames of Reference

1999
In qualitative motion representation, frames of reference play an important role as well in measuring of the motion data as in representation and application of algorithms. This paper discusses motion representation in egocentric and allocentric frames of reference and begins with some general considerations on motion representation through qualitative
