Impact of the terrestrial reference frame on the determination of the celestial reference frame

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
Currently three up-to-date Terrestrial Reference Frames (TRF) are available, the ITRF2014 from IGN, the DTRF2014 from DGFI-TUM, and JTRF2014 from JPL. All use the identical input data of space-geodetic station positions and Earth orientation parameters ...

Insight into Others’ Minds: Spatio-Temporal Representations by Intrinsic Frame of Reference [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Recent research has seen a growing interest in connections between domains of spatial and social cognition. Much evidence indicates that processes of representing space in distinct frames of reference (FOR) contribute to basic spatial abilities as well ...

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 ...

Spatial Interpretation of the Left-Right and Front-Back Axes in Persian [PDF]

open access: yes̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2014
This article studies the spatial interpretation of the left-right and front-back axes in Persian in the theoretical framework of Levinson (2003) and Danziger (2010). On the horizontal plane, there are three main Frames of Reference.

A Case for Mezirow’s Transformative Learning

open access: yesDiligentia: Journal of Theology and Christian Education, 2021
Jack Mezirow’s transformative learning theory is one of the most referenced adult education theories. In his theories, transformative learning is the process of effecting change in a frame of reference, using structures of assumption to understand our ...

Functional and Structural Architectures of Allocentric and Egocentric Spatial Coding in Aging: A Combined DTI and fMRI Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundAging disrupts the optimal balance between neural nodes underlying orienting and attention control functions. Previous studies have suggested that age-related changes in cognitive process are associated to the changes in the myelinated fiber ...

Spatial relation learning in complementary scenarios with deep neural networks

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
A cognitive agent performing in the real world needs to learn relevant concepts about its environment (e.g., objects, color, and shapes) and react accordingly.

Learning a Path from Real Navigation: The Advantage of Initial View, Cardinal North and Visuo-Spatial Ability

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Background: Spatial cognition research strives to maximize conditions favoring environment representation. This study examined how initial (egocentric) navigation headings interact with allocentric references in terms of world-based information (such as ...
