Path integration is a process in which navigators estimate their position and orientation
relative to a known location by using body-based internal sensory cues that arise from …

There is evidence that early deprivation of vision prompts the use of body-based, egocentric
spatial representations in congenitally blind individuals, whereas previous visual experience …

Representing the position of the objects independently from our own position is a
fundamental cognitive ability. Here we investigated whether this ability depends on visual …

Two classes of space define our everyday experience within our surrounding environment:
vista spaces, such as rooms or streets which can be perceived from one vantage point, and …

When people learn an environment, they appear to establish a principle orientation just as
they would determine the “top” of a novel object. Evidence for reference orientations has …

In this study, the construction of, and subsequent access to, representations regarding the
relative spatial and temporal relations among sequentially presented objects was examined …

Considerable evidence suggests that humans flexibly select reference frames for spatial
memory based on qualities such as the shape of the environment, the configuration of …

We investigated memories of room-sized spatial layouts learned by sequentially or
simultaneously viewing objects from a stationary position. In three experiments, sequential …

Abstract Mou, Zhao, and McNamara (2007) proposed the “intrinsic model of human spatial
memory,” which posits that a viewer's memory of an array of objects will exhibit a preferred …

Perception of the near environment gives rise to spatial images in working memory that
continue to represent the spatial layout even after cessation of sensory input. As the …
