The spatial dimensions of neighborhood effects

Social Science & Medicine, 2009
In the decade or so of renewed interest in neighborhood contexts and health, significant progress has been made conceptualizing the relationships between the urban environment and public health. Applied research on the link between the environment and health remains limited by the way spatial concepts, such as "the neighborhood" or "the built ...

The Effect of Music on Spatial Ability

2011
In the first Mozart Effect study, Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky [1] found that exposure to a Mozart sonata enhanced visuo-spatial task performance. In this study, we sought to examine whether there was such an effect on three spatial ability sub-factors, namely spatial visualization factor (the paper folding test), spatial relation factor (card rotation test)

Effective Spatial Data Broadcasting

2012 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2012
Data broadcast is an advanced technique to realize large scalability and bandwidth utilization in a mobile computing environment. Three dimensional (3D) contents are emerging data in the data broadcast. However, traditional data broadcast did not consider 3D data to design a data schedule in a broadcast channel.

The effects of music on spatial reasoning

Psychological Research, 2019
Studies on the effects of music on spatial reasoning report conflicting results. Some studies show slight effects, and others show no effects but few seem to replicate the strong findings of the first study published in Rauscher et al. Nature, 365(6447), 611-612, (1993). Nonetheless, the debate about the performance enhancing "Mozart effect" remains to

Spatial Effects on Temporal Categorisation

Perception, 2009
We examined the influence of spatial factors in temporal processing. Participants categorised as short or long empty intervals marked by two brief flashes delivered from locations differing in height and depth (experiment 1), or from two of three locations on a vertical plane (experiment 2).

Spatial Content and Spatial Quantisation Effects in Face Recognition

Perception, 1994
It has recently become apparent that if face images are degraded by spatial quantisation, or block averaging, there is a nonlinear acceleration of the decline in accuracy of recognition as block size increases. This suggests recognition requires a critical minimum range of object spatial frequencies.

Effects of spatial configurations on the resolution of spatial working memory

Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2014
Recent research demonstrated that people represent spatial information configurally and preservation of configural cues at retrieval helps memory for spatial locations (Boduroğlu & Shah, Memory & Cognition, 37(8), 1120-1131 2009; Jiang, Olson, & Chun, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 26(3), 683-702 2000). The present

A Stroop Effect for Spatial Orientation

The Journal of General Psychology, 2007
The author investigated the conditions under which a congruent or incongruent orientation word affects processing of the orientation of visual objects. Participants named the orientation of a rectangle that partially occluded another rectangle. Congruent or incongruent orientation words appeared in the relevant object, in the irrelevant object, or in ...

Spatial effects

Abstract This chapter examines spatial effects in mathematical biology, introducing partial differential equations to model changes over time and space. It begins with the diffusion equation, which can model how substances and populations move randomly, and extends to the classical Fisher–KPP reaction–diffusion model which exhibits ...

Spatial effects in social dilemmas

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2006
Social dilemmas and the evolutionary conundrum of cooperation are traditionally studied through various kinds of game theoretical models such as the prisoner's dilemma, public goods games, snowdrift games or by-product mutualism. All of them exemplify situations which are characterized by different degrees of conflicting interests between the ...
