Dynamic category structure in spatial memory.
This study examines bias (constant error) in spatial memory in an effort to determine whether this bias is defined by a dynamic egocentric reference frame that moves with the observer or by an environmentally fixed reference frame. Participants learned the locations of six target objects around them in a room, were blindfolded, and then rotated themselves to face particular response headings. F...
متن کاملCategory Structure and Recognition Memory
Current models of human category learning and subsequent recognition are either exemplar-based, rule-based, or some combination of both approaches. We present learning and recognition data that cannot be accounted for by current approaches. The data suggest that the degree to which an item is remembered is determined by the strength of the expectation it violates. In our study, expectations tak...
متن کاملThe Structure of Semantic Memory: Category-based vs. Modality-based
A source of significant debate in psychology is the issue of how information is stored in semantic memory. The two primary frameworks are the Unitary Content Hypothesis, which holds that information is stored based on categories, and the Multiple Semantics Hypothesis, which holds that information is stored based on sensory modality. In a series of three experiments, I attempt to shed some light...
متن کاملTopographic amnesia: spatial memory disorder, perceptual dysfunction, or category specific semantic memory impairment?
A 60 year old patient, SE, who presented with a severe difficulty in finding his way around previously familiar environments and a mild prosopagnosia is described. SE had herpes simplex encephalitis resulting in selective right temporal lobe damage. He showed normal spatial learning, but was severely imparied in his ability to recognise pictures of buildings and landmarks. The disorder was not ...
متن کاملExploiting Spatial Memory and Navigation Performance in Dynamic Peephole Environments
One way to handle the representation of (and the navigation in) datasets that exceed the available display space is by provisioning movable viewports which display a subset of the entire space. Unlike static viewports, where the information space is moved (e.g. by panning), dynamic viewports – so-called dynamic peepholes – allow the user to move the viewport in physical space and thereby enable...
