Complexity as key to designing cognitive-friendly environments for older people
M Cassarino, A Setti - Frontiers in psychology, 2016 - frontiersin.org
The lived environment is the arena where our cognitive skills, preferences, and attitudes
come together to determine our ability to interact with the world. The mechanisms through …

Hippocampal and prefrontal processing of network topology to simulate the future
Topological networks lie at the heart of our cities and social milieu. However, it remains
unclear how and when the brain processes topological structures to guide future behaviour …

Acquisition and transfer of spatial knowledge during wayfinding.
In the current study, we investigated the ways in which the acquisition and transfer of spatial
knowledge were affected by (a) the type of spatial relations predominately experienced …

Local use-dependent sleep in wakefulness links performance errors to learning
Sleep and wakefulness are no longer to be considered as discrete states. During
wakefulness brain regions can enter a sleep-like state (off-periods) in response to a …

Entropy and a sub-group of geometric measures of paths predict the navigability of an environment
Despite extensive research on navigation, it remains unclear which features of an
environment predict how difficult it will be to navigate. We analysed 478,170 trajectories from …

Multi-scale goal distance representations in human hippocampus during virtual spatial navigation
Goal-directed navigation relies on both coarse and fine-grained coding of spatial distance
between the current position of a navigating subject and a goal destination. However, the …

On the proposed role of metacognition in environment learning: recommendations for research
Metacognition plays a role in environment learning (EL). When navigating, we monitor
environment information to judge our likelihood to remember our way, and we engage in …

Droplet etching of deep nanoholes for filling with self-aligned complex quantum structures
Strain-free epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) are fabricated by a combination of Al local droplet
etching (LDE) of nanoholes in AlGaAs surfaces and subsequent hole filling with GaAs. The …

Investigating the Relationship between Task Complexity, Cognitive Ability and Disorientation in Hypertext Navigation.
Users sometimes face a common and serious problem called disorientation, which is
defined as the feeling of being lost in a web-based environment. It is important to determine …
