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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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).

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.

Haptic space processing--Allocentric and egocentric reference frames. [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2007
In this paper a haptic matching, task is used to analyze haptic spatial processing. In various conditions, blindfolded participants were asked to make a test bar parallel to a reference bar. This always resulted in large but systematic deviations. It will be shown that the results can be described with a model in which an egocentric reference frame ...

Spatial task context makes short-latency reaches prone to induced Roelofs illusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The perceptual localization of an object is often more prone to illusions than an immediate visuomotor action towards that object. The induced Roelofs effect (IRE) probes the illusory influence of task-irrelevant visual contextual stimuli on the ...

Decreased utilization of allocentric coordinates during reaching movement in individuals with autism spectrum disorder

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Despite numerous reports of abnormalities in limb motor controls in spatial orientation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. We studied the influence of allocentric coordinates on ongoing

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.
