Object properties and frame of reference in spatial memory representations
SA Marchette, AL Shelton - Spatial Cognition & Computation, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
Considerable evidence suggests that humans flexibly select reference frames for spatial
memory based on qualities such as the shape of the environment, the configuration of …

How are the locations of objects in the environment represented in memory?
TP McNamara - International conference on spatial cognition, 2002 - Springer
This chapter summarizes a new theory of spatial memory. According to the theory, when
people learn the locations of objects in a new environment, they interpret the spatial …

Spatial memory: how egocentric and allocentric combine
N Burgess - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2006 - cell.com
Recent experiments indicate the need for revision of a model of spatial memory consisting of
viewpoint-specific representations, egocentric spatial updating and a geometric module for …

Reference frames in allocentric representations are invariant across static and active encoding
An influential model of spatial memory—the so-called reference systems account—proposes
that relationships between objects are biased by salient axes (“frames of reference”) …

Spatial memory organized by environmental geometry
We investigated the simultaneous effects of different reference systems on spatial memory.
Participants studied a configuration of objects surrounding them. During retrieval, they …

Layout geometry in encoding and retrieval of spatial memory.
W Mou, X Liu, TP McNamara - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2009 - psycnet.apa.org
Two experiments investigated whether the spatial reference directions that are used to
specify objects' locations in memory can be solely determined by layout geometry …

Object-centered reference systems and human spatial memory
X Chen, T McNamara - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2011 - Springer
The present study investigated the role of object-centered reference systems in memories of

Representations of interobject spatial relations in long-term memory
B Rump, TP McNamara - Memory & cognition, 2013 - Springer
A growing body of evidence has indicated that human spatial memory is organized in terms
of a small number of reference directions and that interobject spatial relations are …
