Automatic spatial updating during locomotion without vision.
People can update their spatial relationships relative to the environment while walking without vision. The hypothesis that such updating is automatic was tested in a locomotor task in which the subjects were asked to refrain from updating their positions. Subjects walked without vision to one of four previously seen targets via a second location. In one condition--the updating condition--the s...
متن کاملDistinguishing Imagination from Reality
Children engage with their imaginative faculties in a variety of ways as they grow and develop. Th ey play simple pretend games starting at about the age of two (Fein, 1981; Nicolich, 1977; Singer & Singer, 1990), which are then elaborated into longer pretend sequences and sometimes into ongoing relationships with imaginary companions (Taylor, 1999) and paracosms (see chapter 27). Children also...
متن کاملCorollary discharge and spatial updating: when the brain is split, is space still unified?
How does the brain keep track of salient locations in the visual world when the eyes move? In parietal, frontal and extrastriate cortex, and in the superior colliculus, neurons update or 'remap' stimulus representations in conjunction with eye movements. This updating reflects a transfer of visual information, from neurons that encode a salient location before the saccade, to neurons that encod...
متن کاملBehavioral and Personality Changes Caused by Toxoplasma: Imagination or Reality
Introduction: This note addresses the scientific study of behavioral changes caused by Toxoplasma. About a third of the world's population is infected with the chronic form of the parasite, which is usually asymptomatic and causes severe symptoms only in the presence of the parasite in the eye and nervous system. The study of behavioral changes caused by this parasite has begun since the 1980s ...
متن کاملSpatial updating in virtual reality: the sufficiency of visual information.
Robust and effortless spatial orientation critically relies on "automatic and obligatory spatial updating", a largely automatized and reflex-like process that transforms our mental egocentric representation of the immediate surroundings during ego-motions. A rapid pointing paradigm was used to assess automatic/obligatory spatial updating after visually displayed upright rotations with or withou...
