Alignment Effects in Spatial Perspective Taking from an External Vantage Point

Spatial Judgments from Different Vantage Points: A Different Perspective

Alignment of Spatial Perspective

Most of the experimental research on dialogue that has provided evidence for interactive alignment focuses on speakers aligning at the lexical and syntactic levels of representations and dialogic contributions, i.e., having converging choices of lexical and syntactic means of referring to pictured objects and events. Less is known about alignment at the conceptual level, or situation models. Th...

Perspective alignment in spatial language

It is well known that perspective alignment plays a major role in the planning and interpretation of spatial language. In order to understand the role of perspective alignment and the cognitive processes involved, we have made precise complete cognitive models of situated embodied agents that self-organise a communication system for dialoging about the position and movement of real world object...

Effects of Arm Crossing on Spatial Perspective-Taking

Human social interactions often require people to take a different perspective than their own. Although much research has been done on egocentric spatial representation in a solo context, little is known about how space is mapped in relation to other bodies. Here we used a spatial perspective-taking paradigm to investigate whether observing a person holding his arms crossed over the body midlin...

Running Head: Visuo-spatial Perspective Taking Agency Attribution and Visuo-spatial Perspective Taking

We tested whether processes that evoke agency interpretations and mental state attributions also lead to adoption of the actor’s visuo-spatial perspective in the observer. Agency and mental state interpretations were manipulated by showing different film clips involving two triangles (the Frith-Happé animations). Participants made speeded spatial decisions while watching these films. The respon...
