Spatial language influences memory for spatial scenes [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2007 Does language influence recognition for spatial scenes? In Experiments 1 and 2, participants viewed ambiguous pictures, with or without spatial sentences. In a yes-no recognition task, only the spatial sentences group made more false alarms toward the center of the spatial category than in the other direction; three other comparison groups showed no ...

Hippocampal inactivation during rearing on hind legs impairs spatial memory
Scientific Reports, 2023 Spatial memory requires an intact hippocampus. Hippocampal function during epochs of locomotion and quiet rest (e.g., grooming and reward consumption) has been the target of extensive study.

Spatial memory in foraging games [PDF]
Cognition, 2016 Foraging and foraging-like processes are found in spatial navigation, memory, visual search, and many other search functions in human cognition and behavior. Foraging is commonly theorized using either random or correlated movements based on Lévy walks, or a series of decisions to remain or leave proximal areas known as "patches".

Evaluation of Spatial Memory in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome [PDF]
Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2020 Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. This syndrome may affect cognitive function and impair spatial memory.

Acute stress and human spatial working memory strategy use
Stress, 2023 Acute stress can impair human working memory. Little is known, however, about the effects of acute stress on working memory strategies. The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of acute stress on use of a systematic spatial working memory

Social influences on spatial memory [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2008 Three experiments were performed to examine the joint influences of spatial and social categories on memory for maps. Participants learned a map and descriptive information about small town businesses and, afterward, completed distance estimation and person-location matching tasks. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that social (i.e., racial) and spatial
