Boccia, Maddalena; Vecchione, Francesca; Di Vita, Antonella; D'Amico, Simonetta; Guariglia, Cecilia; Piccardi, Laura – Child Development, 2019
Notwithstanding its well-established role on high-demanding spatial navigation tasks during adulthood, the effect of field dependence-independence during the acquisition of spatial navigation skills is almost unknown. This study assessed for the first time the effect of field dependence-independence on topographical learning (TL) across the life…

Starrett, Michael J.; Stokes, Jared D.; Huffman, Derek J.; Ferrer, Emilio; Ekstrom, Arne D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
An important question regards how we use environmental boundaries to anchor spatial representations during navigation. Behavioral and neurophysiological models appear to provide conflicting predictions, and this question has been difficult to answer because of technical challenges with testing navigation in novel, large-scale, realistic spatial…

Weisberg, Steven M.; Schinazi, Victor R.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Shipley, Thomas F.; Epstein, Russell A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
There are marked individual differences in the formation of cognitive maps both in the real world and in virtual environments (VE; e.g., Blajenkova, Motes, & Kozhevnikov, 2005; Chai & Jacobs, 2010; Ishikawa & Montello, 2006; Wen, Ishikawa, & Sato, 2011). These differences, however, are poorly understood and can be difficult to…
