Lei, Xuehui; Mou, Weimin; Zhang, Lei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
This study investigated the extent to which people can develop a global representation of local environments through across-boundary navigation. Participants learned objects' locations in two misaligned rectangular rooms in an immersive virtual environment. After learning, they adopted a local view in one room and judged directions of objects…

Zimmermann, Jacqueline F.; Moscovitch, Morris; Alain, Claude – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Long-term memory (LTM) has been shown to bias attention to a previously learned visual target location. Here, we examined whether memory-predicted spatial location can facilitate the detection of a faint pure tone target embedded in real world audio clips (e.g., soundtrack of a restaurant). During an initial familiarization task, participants…

Caljouw, Simone R.; Van der Kamp, John; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2010
When hitting, kicking, or throwing balls at targets, online control in the target area is impossible. We assumed this lack of late corrections in the target area would induce an effect of a single-winged Muller-Lyer illusion on ball placement. After extensive practice in hitting balls to different landing locations, participants (N = 9) had to hit…

Sutton, Jennifer E.; Joanisse, Marc F.; Newcombe, Nora S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Recent studies have used spatial reorientation task paradigms to identify underlying cognitive mechanisms of navigation in children, adults, and a range of animal species. Despite broad interest in this task across disciplines, little is known about the brain bases of reorientation. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine neural…

Schmuckler, Mark A.; Jewell, Stephanie – Infancy, 2007
This study examined 6-month-old infants' abilities to use the visual information provided by simulated self-movement through the world, and movement of an object through the world, for spatial orientation. Infants were habituated to a visual display in which they saw a toy hidden, followed by either rotation of the point of observation through the…

Liljedahl, Peter, Ed.; Nicol, Cynthia, Ed.; Oesterie, Susan, Ed.; Allan, Darien, Ed. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The theme of the 38th meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME 38) and the 36th meeting of the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA 36) was "Mathematics Education at the Edge." Academically, the theme provides opportunities to highlight and examine…
