Transformations and representations supporting spatial perspective taking
Spatial perspective taking is the ability to reason about spatial relations relative to another's viewpoint. Here, we propose a mechanistic hypothesis that relates mental representations of one's viewpoint to the transformations used for spatial perspective taking. We test this hypothesis using a novel behavioral paradigm that assays patterns of response time and variation in those patterns acr...
متن کاملAgent's symmetry elicits egocentric transformations for spatial perspective-taking
Spatial perspective-taking is an ability to understand in which direction an object is located relative to an agent (e.g., another person or a chair). Previous studies showed that left/right judgments prompted an egocentric transformation strategy (i.e., mental rotation of the self) whereas front/behind judgments prompted other strategies (e.g., tracing a line of sight). To examine whether the ...
متن کاملRunning Head: Visuo-spatial Perspective Taking Agency Attribution and Visuo-spatial Perspective Taking
We tested whether processes that evoke agency interpretations and mental state attributions also lead to adoption of the actor’s visuo-spatial perspective in the observer. Agency and mental state interpretations were manipulated by showing different film clips involving two triangles (the Frith-Happé animations). Participants made speeded spatial decisions while watching these films. The respon...
متن کاملEmbodied and disembodied cognition: spatial perspective-taking.
Although people can take spatial perspectives different from their own, it is widely assumed that egocentric perspectives are natural and have primacy. Two studies asked respondents to describe the spatial relations between two objects on a table in photographed scenes; in some versions, a person sitting behind the objects was either looking at or reaching for one of the objects. The mere prese...
متن کاملMental spatial transformations of objects and perspective
This study sought evidence for the independence of two classes of mental spatial transformation: object-based spatial transformations and egocentric perspective transformations. Two tasks were designed to selectively elicit these two transformations using the same materials, participants, and task parameters: one required same-different judgments about pairs of pictures, while the other require...
