Recent studies have provided convincing evidence highlighting the strong relationship between spatial reasoning and mathematical performance. However, there is a limited body of research exploring the contributions of different spatial reasoning constructs to mathematical performance across various content domains…

Previous research suggests that individuals exhibit consistent tendencies towards taking their own (an egocentric) or their partner’s (an othercentric) spatial perspective. In addition, several factors such as spatial orientation ability, inhibitory control, and social preferences, have been found to mediate these…

Spatial orientation is a complex ability that emerges from the interaction of several systems in a way that is still unclear. One of the reasons limiting the research on the topic is the lack of methodologies aimed at studying multimodal psychophysics in an ecological manner and with affordable settings. Virtual…

Spatial orientation is a fundamental cognitive skill that relies on sensory information to update perceived direction. Understanding how sensory conditions influence directional accuracy is important for both cognitive science and the design of assistive technologies. We analyze experimental data in which blind…

Orientation is a fundamental cognitive faculty, allowing the behaving self to link his/her current state to their internal representations of the external world. Once exclusively linked to knowledge of the current place and present time, in recent years, the concept of orientation has evolved to include processing of…

2## A literature review related to spatial intervention in human spatial orientation ability Contemporary scholars have focused on the impact of cognitive task training on human spatial orientation abilities, discussing this within the contexts of virtual and real-world environments. In the realm of virtual…

Spatial updating-the ability to continuously revise spatial representations during locomotion-is fundamental to adaptive navigation and depends on flexible reference frames. Although previous research has established independent effects of field cognitive style and scene layout on spatial performance, their interaction…

Location retrieval based on visual information is to retrieve the location of an agent (e.g. human, robot) or the area they see by comparing the observations with a certain form of representation of the environment. Existing methods generally require precise measurement and storage of the observed environment features…

Previous research has demonstrated that humans combine multiple sources of spatial information, such as allothetic and idiothetic cues, while navigating through an environment. However, it is unclear whether this involves comparing multiple representations from multiple sources during encoding (parallel hypothesis) or…

The orientation of sketch maps of remote but familiar city squares produced from memory has been shown to depend on the distance and airline direction from the production site to the remembered square (position dependent recall, 24). Here, we present a virtual reality version of the original experiment and additionaly…

Spatial ability is an important core of the development of human thinking. From the establishment of the concept of object shape, size and distance to the representation of the physical world by the representation system, it is the key factor to determine how the individual perceives and interacts with the surrounding…

The way in which organisms represent the shape of their environments during navigation has been debated in cognitive, comparative, and developmental psychology. While there is evidence that adult humans encode the entire boundary shape of an environment (a global-shape representation), there are also data demonstrating…

Spatial memory is a fundamental cognitive function that enables humans and other species to encode and recall the locations of items in their environments. Humans employ diverse strategies to support spatial memory, including the use of cognitive maps. Cognitive maps are mental representations of the environment that…

Visual search in natural environments involves numerous objects, each composed of countless features. Despite this complexity, our brain efficiently locates targets. Here, we propose that an internal reference frame facilitates real-world visual search. Objects in natural scenes often appear in orientations perceived…

Working memory enables the retention of relevant visual information in service of anticipated behaviour. Consequently, the goal for which information is retained may crucially sculpt the way we retain and organise information in visual working memory. Here, we investigated how anticipated action goals structure the…

From classical molecular dynamics simulations, we identify a simple and general predictor of molecular orientation at solid and vapour interfaces of isotropic fluids of disk-like anisotropic particles based on their shape and interaction anisotropy. For a wide variety of inter-particle interactions, temperatures, and…

'Andrei-Mugur Georgescu' 'An Tran' 'Hannes Kruppa' 'See-Kiong Ng' 'Roger Zimmermann'] Street-view imagery provides us with novel experiences to explore different places remotely. Carefully calibrated street-view images (e.g., Google Street View) can be used for different downstream tasks, e.g., navigation, map features…

Spatial navigation relies on extracting environmental information to determine where to go. To support navigation behavior, navigational aids, such as maps, compasses, or global positioning systems (GPSs), offer access to easily extractible information, but do these aids enhance spatial memory? Here, we propose the…

Humans possess a remarkable capacity for spatial cognition, allowing for selflocalization even in novel or unfamiliar environments. While hippocampal neurons encoding position and orientation are well documented, the large-scale neural dynamics supporting spatial representation—particularly during naturalistic, passive…

'David J. Heeger'] Visual estimation of heading in the human brain is widely believed to be based on instantaneous optic flow, the velocity of retinal image motion. However, we previously found that humans are unable to use instantaneous optic flow to accurately estimate heading and require time-varying optic flow…

Transition-state (TS) identification for bimolecular liquid-phase reactions is notoriously sensitive to the initial spatial arrangement of reactants, making automated searches difficult, especially in solvation where conformational effects dominate barrier heights. We address this gap with a fully automated, heuristic…

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are widely used minimal cell models where essential biological features can be reproduced, isolated and studied. Although precise spatio-temporal distribution of membrane domains is a process of crucial importance in living cells, it is still highly challenging to generate anisotropic…

In this work, we explore the issue of origin dependence in optical rotation (OR) calculations in the length dipole gauge (LG) using standard approximate methods belonging to density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster (CC) theory. We use the origin-invariant LG approach, LG(OI), that we recently proposed as…

When producing plant-protein-based meat analogues via high moisture extrusion (HME), the structure of extrudates is determined by complex interactions between ingredient composition and processing conditions. To facilitate consumers in their transition towards a diet higher in plant-based proteins, the food industry…

Asymmetric catalysis evolved as an elegant, efficient and sustainable approach for the synthesis of a multitude of chiral molecules.1 However, imparting high levels of stereocontrol in the synthesis of complex forms of chirality remains a significant challenge, particularly when the known synthetic routes to the target…
