Retrieving enduring spatial representations after disorientation.
Four experiments tested whether there are enduring spatial representations of objects' locations in memory. Previous studies have shown that under certain conditions the internal consistency of pointing to objects using memory is disrupted by disorientation. This disorientation effect has been attributed to an absence of or to imprecise enduring spatial representations of objects' locations. Ex...
متن کاملTransient and enduring spatial representations under disorientation and self-rotation.
Current theories of environmental cognition typically differentiate between an online, transient, and dynamic system of spatial representation and an offline and enduring system of memory representation. Here the authors present additional evidence for such 2-system theories in the context of the disorientation paradigm introduced by R. F. Wang and E. S. Spelke (2000). Several experiments repli...
متن کاملSpatial Disorientation in Birds
T HE aircraft was on final approach through the rain and fog. At approximately 500 feet it went into a spiral dive to starboard, striking the right wing against the approach lights. The aircraft was destroyed. Blackburnian Warblers were migrating on a night of a low ceiling and the visibility restricted in moderate rain. On reaching a floodlighted area, some fifty birds crashed into a hangar an...
متن کاملUSAF Spatial Disorientation Survey
A recent review of mishaps by the Air Force Safety Center (AFSC) determined that spatial disorientation (SD) was implicated in 20.2% of the Class A mishaps in the United States Air Force (USAF) between 1991 and 2000, at a cost of $1.4 billion and 60 lives. However, mishap data only provide limited information about the impact of SD on air operations and, as aircraft losses are relatively infreq...
متن کاملOral Session 2: Spatial Disorientation
In the absence of visual orientation cues, the inadequacy of the vestibular sense often contributes to orienting illusions [1] during flight. Spatial disorientation (SD) plays a significant role in helicopter accidents [2, 3], often when outside visual references are lost during landings in dusty environments [4]. The lack of ambient visual cues, the close proximity to the ground, and the urgen...
