The Development of Spatial Cognition During Childhood: Extending Understanding of Perception, Memory, Language, Maps, and Gestures

چکیده
Understanding the development of spatial cognition during childhood is important. Paying close attention to development provides a lens through with to explore mechanisms that underlie stability and change in perception, memory, language, and symbolic understanding over time. This symposium, moderated by Alycia Hund, includes four talks highlighting tight links between spatial perception of midline and memory for nearby targets during early childhood explicated through dynamic systems theory, specifying the development of spatial language (especially middle and between) during early childhood by focusing on the role of scaffolding interactions, exploring links between spatial language, maps, and midpoint search strategies during early childhood, and explicating spatial thinking during childhood by integrating maps, words, and gestures. The symposium concludes with a discussion of common themes, including how children perceive, remember, talk about, and gesture about middle and other spatial relations.

متن کاملNo Significant Difference Between Intact and Testosterone Depleted or Administrated Male Rats in Spatial Learning and Memory
Androgens have been shown to affect cognitive aspects of spatial memory. Testosterone which is the most important androgen, plays a role in the organization of behavior during development. Also, it has been shown that androgens cause sex related differences in learning and memory especially during neonatal period. In the current study, we assessed the effects of castration and testosterone ena...

متن کاملMental Timeline in Persian Speakers’ Co-speech Gestures based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory
One of the introduced conceptual metaphors is the metaphor of "time as space". Time as an abstract concept is conceptualized by a concrete concept like space. This conceptualization of time is also reflected in co-speech gestures. In this research, we try to find out what dimension and direction the mental timeline has in co-speech gestures and under the influence of which one of the metaphoric...
