Socioeconomic predictors of cognition in Ugandan children: implications for community interventions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Several interventions to improve cognition in at risk children have been suggested. Identification of key variables predicting cognition is necessary to guide these interventions. This study was conducted to identify these variables in Ugandan

Historical Evolution of Spatial Abilities

open access: yesBehavioural Neurology, 1993
Historical evolution and cross-cultural differences in spatial abilities are analyzed. Spatial abilities have been found to be significantly associated with the complexity of geographical conditions and survival demands.

Through Doorways and Down Corridors: Investigating Asymmetries During Computer Maze Navigation

open access: yesJournal of Cognition, 2020
Pseudoneglect causes neurologically intact individuals to bias their attention to the left in near space, and to the right in far space. These attentional asymmetries impact both ambulatory and non-ambulatory activities, causing individuals to deviate ...

Psychology of spatial cognition [PDF]

open access: yesWIREs Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractIn this overview, focusing on memory and higher cognitive processes, we cover some of the most relevant results that emerged from research on spatial cognition in animals and in humans in the last 3 decades. In particular, we discuss how representations of distance and direction are used to localize oneself with respect to the external world ...

Representation, space and Hollywood Squares: Looking at things that aren't there anymore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
It has been argued that the human cognitive system is capable of using spatial indexes or oculomotor coordinates to relieve working memory load (Ballard, Hayhoe, Pook & Rao, 1997) track multiple moving items through occlusion (Scholl & Pylyshyn, 1999) or

Where is the “where” in the brain? A meta‐analysis of neuroimaging studies on spatial cognition

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, 2019
Spatial representations are processed in the service of several different cognitive functions. The present study capitalizes on the Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) method of meta‐analysis to identify: (a) the shared neural activations among ...

Spontaneous body movements in spatial cognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2012
People often perform spontaneous body movements during spatial tasks such as giving complex directions or orienting themselves on maps. How are these spontaneous gestures related to spatial problem-solving?
