Transformations of visuospatial mental images are important for action, navigation, and
reasoning. They depend on representations in multiple spatial reference frames …

Cognitive deficits such as poor concentration and short-term memory loss are known by
clinicians to occur frequently among patients with vestibular abnormalities. Although direct …

Although the literatures on human spatial cognition and animal navigation often make

In this study, the nature of the spatial representations of an environment acquired from maps,
navigation, and virtual environments (VEs) was assessed. Participants first learned the …

Two studies investigated updating of self-position and heading during real, imagined, and
simulated locomotion. Subjects were exposed to a two-segment path with a turn between …

Spatial competence is a central aspect of human adaptation. To understand human
cognitive functioning, we must understand how people code the locations of things, how …

Humans are able to mentally adopt the spatial perspective of others and understand the
world from their point of view. We propose that spatial perspective taking (SPT) could have …

In two experiments, subjects traveled through virtual mazes, encountering target objects
along the way. Their task was to indicate the direction to these target objects from a terminal …

Seven experiments examined the spatial reference systems used in memory to represent
the locations of objects in the environment. Participants learned the locations of common …
