The network of reference frames theory explains the orientation behavior of human and non-
human animals in directly experienced environmental spaces, such as buildings or towns …

Spatial cognitive processes can be based on distinct reference frames centered on the body
(egocentric reference frame) or centered on aspects of the surrounding environment …

Spatial memory is an important facet of human cognition–it allows users to learn the
locations of items over time and retrieve them with little effort. In human-computer interfaces …

In the last decade many studies examined egocentric and allocentric spatial relations. For
various tasks, navigators profit from both kinds of relations. However, their interrelation …

Human orientation in novel and familiar environments is a complex skill that can involve
numerous different strategies. To date, a comprehensive account of how these strategies …

Graphical User Interfaces present commands at particular locations, arranged in menus,
toolbars, and ribbons. One hallmark of expertise with a GUI is that experts know the …

A central question about spatial attention is whether it is referenced relative to the external
environment or to the viewer. This question has received great interest in recent …

In 8 experiments, the authors examined the use of representations of self-to-object or object-
to-object spatial relations during locomotion. Participants learned geometrically regular or …

Three experiments examined the role of reference directions in spatial updating. Participants
briefly viewed an array of five objects. A non-egocentric reference direction was primed by …

Color plays a significant role in the recognition of 3D objects and scenes from the
perspective of cognitive psychology. In this paper, we propose a new 3D model retrieval …
