Aging affects many aspects of everyday living, such as autonomy, security and quality of life.
Among all, spatial memory and spatial navigation show a gradual but noticeable decline, as …

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 …

Recent psychometric results [Mem. Cogn. 29 (2001) 745] have supported a distinction
between mental abilities that require a spatial transformation of a perceived object (eg …

We developed psychometric tests of spatial orientation ability, in which people are shown a
two dimensional array of objects, imagine taking a perspective within the array, and indicate …

In this study, the nature of the spatial representations of an environment acquired from maps,
navigation, and virtual environments (VEs) was assessed. Participants first learned the …

Recent advances in the understanding of spatial cognition are reviewed, focusing on
memory for locations in large‐scale space and on those advances inspired by single‐unit …

Human navigation is special: we use geographic maps to capture a world far beyond our
unaided locomotion. In consequence, human navigation is widely thought to depend on …

Two studies investigated updating of self-position and heading during real, imagined, and
simulated locomotion. Subjects were exposed to a two-segment path with a turn between …

Although people can take spatial perspectives different from their own, it is widely assumed
that egocentric perspectives are natural and have primacy. Two studies asked respondents …

Spatial competence is a central aspect of human adaptation. To understand human
cognitive functioning, we must understand how people code the locations of things, how …
