A Bayesian perspective on magnitude estimation

FH Petzschner, S Glasauer, KE Stephan - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2015 - cell.com
Our representation of the physical world requires judgments of magnitudes, such as
loudness, distance, or time. Interestingly, magnitude estimates are often not veridical but …

Bayesian optimization of time perception

Z Shi, RM Church, WH Meck - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2013 - cell.com
Precise timing is crucial to decision-making and behavioral control, yet subjective time can
be easily distorted by various temporal contexts. Application of a Bayesian framework to …

Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation

NW Roach, PV McGraw… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
To enable effective interaction with the environment, the brain combines noisy sensory
information with expectations based on prior experience. There is ample evidence showing …

Statistically optimal cue integration during human spatial navigation

PM Newman, Y Qi, W Mou, TP McNamara - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Bayesian decision theory and navigation

TP McNamara, X Chen - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022 - Springer
Spatial navigation is a complex cognitive activity that depends on perception, action,
memory, reasoning, and problem-solving. Effective navigation depends on the ability to …

Eliciting contextual temporal calibration: The effect of bottom-up and top-down information in reproduction tasks

SC Maaß, N Schlichting, H van Rijn - Acta Psychologica, 2019 - Elsevier
Bayesian integration assumes that a current observation is integrated with previous
observations. An example in the temporal domain is the central tendency effect: when a …

The dynamic effect of context on interval timing in children and adults

Q Hallez, A Damsma, D Rhodes, H Van Rijn… - Acta psychologica, 2019 - Elsevier
Human reproductions of time intervals are often biased toward previously perceived
durations, resulting in a central tendency effect. The aim of the current study was to compare …

Inference of perceptual priors from path dynamics of passive self-motion

M Prsa, D Jimenez-Rezende… - Journal of …, 2015 - journals.physiology.org
The monitoring of one's own spatial orientation depends on the ability to estimate
successive self-motion cues accurately. This process has become to be known as path …

Relative cue precision and prior knowledge contribute to the preference of proximal and distal landmarks in human orientation

Y Qi, W Mou - Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
A prevailing argument posits that distal landmarks dominate over proximal landmarks as
orientation cues. However, no studies have tested this argument or examined the underlying …

Central tendency and serial dependence in vestibular path integration

SCMJ Willemsen… - Journal of …, 2024 - journals.physiology.org
Path integration, the process of updating one's position using successive self-motion
signals, has previously been studied with visual distance reproduction tasks in which optic …
