Spatial cognition: Behavioral competences, neural mechanisms, and evolutionary scaling
Zusammenfassung. Raumkognition ist eine kognitive Fähigkeit, die relativ früh im Verlauf der Evolution entstand. Sie eignet sich daher besonders zur Untersuchung der Evolution von stereotypem hin zu kognitivem Verhalten. Der vorliegende Aufsatz definiert Kognition mit Hilfe der Komplexität des Verhaltens. Dieser Ansatz erlaubt die Frage nach den Mechanismen der Kognition, gerade so, wie die Neu...
متن کاملP M Max−planck−institut Fü R Biologische Kybernetik Spatial Cognition: Behavioral Competences, Neural Mechanisms and Evolutionary Scaling
Spatial cognition is a cognitive ability that arose relatively early in animal evolution. It is therefore very well suited for studying the evolution from stereotyped to cognitive behavior and the general mechanisms underlying cognitive abilities. In this paper, I will present a de nition of cognition in terms of the complexity of behavior it subserves. This approach allows to ask for the mecha...
متن کاملMechanisms of Spatial Cognition: Behavioral Experiments in Virtual Environments
The study of spatial cognition in psychology and cognitive neuroscience aims at identifying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying spatial behaviors such as homing (returning to the starting point of an excursion),wayfinding,or pointing to invisible targets from memory. As always in the empirical sciences, minimal, or parsimonious explanations are sought that make no unnecessary ass...
متن کاملLanguage and Cognition Interaction Neural Mechanisms
How language and cognition interact in thinking? Is language just used for communication of completed thoughts, or is it fundamental for thinking? Existing approaches have not led to a computational theory. We develop a hypothesis that language and cognition are two separate but closely interacting mechanisms. Language accumulates cultural wisdom; cognition develops mental representations model...
متن کاملNeural and behavioral mechanisms of olfactory perception.
Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have challenged existing models of olfactory processing in the vertebrate olfactory bulb and insect antennal lobe. Whereas lateral connectivity between olfactory glomeruli was previously thought to form a dense, topographically organized inhibitory surround, new evidence suggests that lateral connections may be sparse, nontopographic, and partly excitatory. O...
