This article presents a comprehensive survey of research concerning interactions between
associative learning and attention in humans. Four main findings are described. First …

Some theories of spatial learning predict that associative rules apply under only limited
circumstances. For example, learning based on a boundary has been claimed to be immune …

Unlike children's early ability to navigate by continuous boundaries, their ability to extract
geometric information from an array of objects emerges gradually over childhood. To …

边界是指在人的视野中占据较大比例, 且具有立体拓展平面的障碍物, 对于人类和动物的空间
导航行为具有极大的促进作用. 相比于路标等其他环境线索, 边界对于空间导航的促进具有优势 …

Individuals differ in their ability to acquire associations between stimuli and paired
outcomes, an ability that has been proposed to be independent of general metrics of …

The way in which human and non-human animals represent the shape of their environments
remains a contentious issue. According to local theories of shape learning, organisms …

In this study, we investigated how different environmental cue and the proficiency of body
motion influenced detour learning behaviour and cue preference in cue conflict situations …

Large walls and other typical boundaries strongly influence neural activity related to
navigation and the representations of spatial layouts. They are also major aids to reliable …

In situations in which multiple predictors anticipate the presence or absence of an outcome,
cues compete to anticipate the outcome, resulting in a loss of associative strength compared …

Three experiments investigated how the room size affects preferential use of geometric and
non-geometric cues during reorientation inside a room. We hypothesised that room size may …
