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

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