The effects of music on spatial reasoning
Psychological Research, 2019Studies 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

Physical space has unique properties which form the basis of fundamental capabilities of cognitive systems. This paper explores some cognitive aspects of perception and knowledge representation and explains why spatial knowledge is of particular interest for cognitive science.

Spatial Reasoning Based on Rules
2005In this article, we investigate the problem of checking consistency in a hybrid formalism, which combines two essential formalisms in qualitative spatial reasoning: topological formalism and cardinal direction formalism. Although much work has been done in developing composition tables for these formalisms, the previous research for integrating ...

Mental Models in Spatial Reasoning
1998This chapter gives an overview of our ongoing experimental research in the MeMoSpace project, concerning the cognitive processes underlying human spatial reasoning. Our theoretical background is mental model theory, which conceives reasoning as a process in which mental models of the given information are constructed and inspected to solve a reasoning ...

Combining spatial and terminological reasoning
1994The paper presents a method for terminological reasoning about spatial objects on the basis of a KL-ONE-like framework (Loom). We apply this method to the domain of deductive geographic information systems and parsing of visual languages. In contrast to existing work, which mainly focusses on reasoning about qualitative spatial relations, we integrate ...

Partitions to improve spatial reasoning
Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL PhD Workshop, 2014The field of spatial reasoning has provided a litany of formal models and reasoning systems aimed at providing users with information about spatial tasks and concepts, ranging from point-to-point distance measurements coming from sensors all the way to topological information coming from the interaction of multiple sensor readings. In this short paper,

Spatial Reasoning with Propositional Logics
1994I present a method for reasoning about spatial relationships on the basis of entailments in propositional logic. Formalisms for representing topological and other spatial information (e.g. [2] [10] [11]) have generally employed the 1st-order predicate calculus.

Spatial reasoning with a qualitative representation
Knowledge-Based Systems, 1989Abstract A qualitative representation for shape and space in two dimensions, and methods for carrying out simple spatial reasoning tasks using this representation are described. The representation provides facilities that enable qualitative physics systems to use qualitative methods not only at the process level, but also at the constraint and motion

Spatial Reasoning with Topological Information
1998This chapter summarizes our ongoing research on topological spatial reasoning using the Region Connection Calculus. We are addressing different questions and problems that arise when using this calculus. This includes representational issues, e.g., how can regions be represented and what is the required dimension of the applied space.

Spatial reasoning in a holey world
1993This paper outlines a basic formalism for reasoning about holes and holed things. Several domains come to interact: ontology (holes are parasitic entities), mereology (holes may bear part-whole relations to one another); topology (holes are one piece things located at the surfaces of their hosts); morphology (holes are fillable).
