Spatial Navigation and Working Memory

2023
Spatial navigation is a complex skill that relies on many aspects of cognition. The followingstudies aimed to clarify the role of working memory in spatial navigation, and particularly, thepotentially differential contributions of verbal and visuospatial working memory.

Spatial Transposition Gradients in Visual Working Memory

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2014
In list memory, access to individual items reflects limits of temporal distinctiveness. This is reflected in the finding that neighbouring list items tend to be confused most often. This article investigates the analogous effect of spatial proximity in a visual working-memory task.

Complexity factors in visuospatial working memory

Memory, 2004
Three experiments are presented that use a technique of selective interference--irrelevant pictures--to develop our understanding of visuo-spatial working memory. Visual noise fields are used as the irrelevant pictures. Using two related measures of simple visual complexity, the experiments demonstrate that the greater the complexity the greater the ...

Spatial monitoring in visual working memory

British Journal of Psychology, 1989
Three experiments examined the role of spatial monitoring in short‐term visual memory. In the first experiment it was found that with consonants presented visually at one location articulatory suppression but not a concurrent tracking task disrupted performance. Experiment 2 demonstrated that tracking was disruptive when consonants

Rehearsal in spatial working memory.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1998
This article reports 3 experiments that tested a hypothesis regarding the nature of rehearsal in spatial working memory, one in which discrete shifts of spatial selective attention mediate the maintenance of location-specific representations. Experiment 1 demonstrated increases in visual processing efficiency for locations held in working memory, which

Visuo-Spatial Processing in Working Memory

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1986
This paper reports four experiments designed to develop a simple technique for the study of visuo-spatial processing within the working memory framework (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974). Experiment 1 involved the matching of successively presented random matrix patterns, as a secondary visual suppression task.

Visuo-spatial Working Memory

2014
Representation of the visual and spatial properties of our environment is a pivotal requirement of everyday cognition. We can mentally represent the visual form of objects. We can extract information from several of the senses as to the location of objects in relation to ourselves and to other objects nearby.

Verbal and Spatial Working Memory in Autism

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Verbal and spatial working memory were examined in high-functioning children, adolescents, and adults with autism compared to age and cognitive-matched controls. No deficit was found in verbal working memory in the individuals with autism using an N-back letter task and standardized measures.

Spatial working memory in human extrastriate cortex

Physiology & Behavior, 2002
The performance of spatial working memory tasks is known to evoke activity in a set of higher-order association areas, including the prefrontal cortex, posterior parietal cortex and the frontal and supplementary eye fields. Recent physiological studies in monkey have shown that memory-related activity also is found in extrastriate cortex [J ...
