There is evidence, beginning with Cheng (1986), that mobile animals may use the geometry
of surrounding areas to reorient following disorientation. Gallistel (1990) proposed that …

In 2007, Cheng and colleagues published their influential review wherein they analyzed the
literature on spatial cue interaction during navigation through a Bayesian lens, and …

Do humans integrate experience on specific routes into metric survey knowledge of the
environment, or do they depend on a simpler strategy of landmark navigation? The authors …

Pigeons (Columba livia) searched for hidden food in a rectangular environment constructed
to eliminate external orientation cues. A feature group was initially trained with distinct …

This chapter discusses the three areas in which cognitive processes in animals are widely
accepted and considered non‐contentious. These concern processing of basic dimensions …

Geometric alterations to the boundaries of a virtual environment were used to investigate the
representations underlying human spatial memory. Subjects encountered a cue object in a …

Many animals regularly return to particular locations such as hives, nests, wintering grounds
or cache sites. This ability clearly implies that animals possess information that allows them …

Volumetric studies in a range of animals (London taxi-drivers, polygynous male voles, nest-
parasitic female cowbirds, and a number of food-storing birds) have shown that the size of …

Pigeons and humans searched on a touch-screen monitor for an unmarked goal located
relative to an array of landmarks presented in varied screen locations. After training with the …

The study of comparative cognition bloomed in the 1970s and 1980s with a focus on
representations in the heads of animals that undergird what animals can achieve. Even in …
