The effect of egocentric and environmental cues on macro-reference frame selection

open access: closed, 2017
Knowledge of space is inherently relative. Therefore, in order to make use of spatial knowledge, it must be encoded with respect to a particular perspective so that values such distance and angle have meaning. This stored perspective is known as the reference frame, and many judgments about remembered space are calculated based on this perspective ...

Egocentric and Allocentric Reference Frames Can Flexibly Support Contextual Cueing

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Human spatial navigation: Neural representations of spatial scales and reference frames obtained from an ALE meta-analysis

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Humans use different spatial reference frames (allocentric or egocentric) to navigate successfully toward their destination in different spatial scale spaces (environmental or vista). However, it remains unclear how the brain represents different spatial

Four-Year-Olds Use a Mixture of Spatial Reference Frames. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Keeping track of unseen objects is an important spatial skill. In order to do this, people must situate the object in terms of different frames of reference, including body position (egocentric frame of reference), landmarks in the surrounding ...

The Impact of Vision Loss on Allocentric Spatial Coding

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Several works have demonstrated that visual experience plays a critical role in the development of allocentric spatial coding. Indeed, while children with a typical development start to code space by relying on allocentric landmarks from the first year ...

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 thickness of the ventral medial prefrontal cortex predicts the prior-entry effect for allocentric representation in near space

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Neuropsychological studies have demonstrated that the preferential processing of near-space and egocentric representation is associated with the self-prioritization effect (SPE).

Egocentric and geocentric frames of reference in memory of large-scale space [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2003
This experiment investigated the frames of reference used in memory to represent the spatial structure of a large-scale outdoor environment. Participants learned the locations of eight objects in an unfamiliar city park by walking through the park on one of two prescribed paths that encircled a large rectangular building.

Virtual Orientation Overrides Physical Orientation to Define a Reference Frame in Spatial Updating

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Previous studies showed that people could use either an egocentric or allocentric reference frame in spatial updating with body-based cues (i.e., physical body movements), but the adopted reference frame was anchored by the physical egocentric front when

Eye Movement Reflexes Indicate the Homing Direction in the Path-Integrating Fiddler Crab, Uca pugilator

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
As animals execute essential behaviors like foraging, they must orient with respect to the space around them, requiring some neural/behavioral mechanism for spatial navigation.
