Do humans integrate routes into a cognitive map? Map- versus landmark-based navigation of novel shortcuts.
Do humans integrate experience on specific routes into metric survey knowledge of the environment, or do they depend on a simpler strategy of landmark navigation? The authors tested this question using a novel shortcut paradigm during walking in a virtual environment. The authors find that participants could not take successful shortcuts in a desert world but could do so with dispersed landmark...
متن کاملHow do (some) people make a cognitive map? Routes, places, and working memory.
Research on the existence of cognitive maps and on the cognitive processes that support effective navigation has often focused on functioning across individuals. However, there are pronounced individual differences in navigation proficiency, which need to be explained and which can illuminate our understanding of cognitive maps and effective navigation. Using a virtual environment involving 2 r...
متن کاملDifferent "routes" to a cognitive map: dissociable forms of spatial knowledge derived from route and cartographic map learning.
An important, but as yet incompletely resolved, issue is whether spatial knowledge acquired during navigation differs significantly from that acquired by studying a cartographic map. This, in turn, is relevant to understanding the generalizability of the concept of a "cognitive map," which is often likened to a cartographic map. On the basis of previous theoretical proposals, we hypothesized th...
متن کاملDeforming a Map into a Harmonic Map
Let X be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature and Sobolev radius (see §6 for the definition) bounded from below and Y a complete Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. We shall study some situations where a smooth map f : X → Y can be deformed continuously into a harmonic map, using a naturally defined flow. The flow used here is not the usual harmon...
متن کاملDo humans optimally integrate stereo and texture information for judgments of surface slant?
An optimal linear system for integrating visual cues to 3D surface geometry weights cues in inverse proportion to their uncertainty. The problem of integrating texture and stereo information for judgments of planar surface slant provides a strong test of optimality in human perception. Since the accuracy of slant from texture judgments changes by an order of magnitude from low to high slants, o...
