Spatial orientation in pathway surgery
Surgical Endoscopy, 2014In the field of minimally invasive surgery, specifically in pathway surgery (i.e. minimal invasive procedures carried out transluminally or through instrument-created pathways), spatial disorientation is a common experience to endoscopists. In this article, two effects that may cause spatial disorientation in pathway surgery, 'control-display ...

Visual-spatial orienting in autism
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996Visual-spatial orienting in high-functioning adults with autism and both chronological- and mental-age normal controls was examined. Three experiments were conducted in which stimuli were presented centrally and/or laterally (left or right of central fixation), and either detection or identification was required.

Spatial orientation in Drosophila
Journal of Neurogenetics, 2009Spatial orientation is critical for many behaviors. Intrinsic to the oriented state is the knowledge of past, present, and future spatial location relative to one or more landmarks. How do animals so fluidly solve this problem? Determining mechanisms of orientation may benefit from investigation of relatively simple organisms.

Spatial orientation in translumenal surgery
Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2010"Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery" (NOTES) is assumed to offer significant benefits to patients, such as reduced trauma as well as reduced collateral damage. But the potential advantages of this new technology can only be achieved through safe and standardized operation methods.

Spatial Orientation in Weightless Environments
Perception, 1992Illusions of body inversion and of vehicle inversion can be evoked by exposure to weightlessness in the microgravity conditions of orbital and parabolic flight. Such illusions can involve all possible combinations of self-inversion and vehicle inversion.

Abstract In Lugbara, a language spoken in northeastern Zaire and northwestern Uganda, the traditional terms for spatial orientation are as shown in table 3-1. These Lugbara terms differ from corresponding terms in European languages in that they are all transparent (see section 2.4)—that is, in all cases, the motivation of the terms is ...

Spatial Orientation and 3D Geometry
2017During the last years, we focused our efforts on encouraging the development of spatial abilities. We have created several programs and games to support the ability to realize movement and position in space. Another, and an even more challenging, way of training and applying spatial abilities is trying to solve abstract spatial problems. The ability to

A Stroop Effect for Spatial Orientation
The Journal of General Psychology, 2007The 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 ...

Orienting of attention and spatial cognition
Cognitive ProcessingHumans orient to their sensory world through foveation of target location or through covert shifts of attention. Orienting provides primacy to the selected location and in humans improves the precision of discrimination. Covert orienting appears to arise separately from the mechanisms involved in saccadic eye movements.

A computer oriented toward spatial problems
Proceedings of the May 6-8, 1958, western joint computer conference: contrasts in computers on XX - IRE-ACM-AIEE '58 (Western), 1958The stored-program digital computer has been in existence for about a decade and has proven itself to be a powerful and versatile instrument. Roughly speaking, any solvable problem can be solved by a digital computer. At many tasks, such as the solution of systems of linear equations, these machines are thousands of times as fast as human beings.
