Spatial updating and domain expertise: the case of dancers: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021)Dancers are a unique group of individuals who routinely engage in coordi nated highly skilled performances with others in the immediate environment. Previous research suggests that, compared to non-dancers, dancers have ... -
Development and testing of a tool for learning stereometry at high school: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
The effects of movement and spatial activities on real and imagined spatial updating: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Tactile field and the dual nature of touch: Poster
(2021)I investigate whether it is justified to postulate tactile field analogous in its properties to visual field. I argue that the answer is both ‘yes’ and ‘no’ due to the dual nature of touch: touch is both an interoceptive ... -
Close to my heart: meanings associated with places near and far: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
The relationship between navigation abilities and mental disorders: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021)This study examined the relationship between aspects of navigational ability and behavioral traits associated with various mental disorders. We propose that navigational ability may utilize the same brain circuitry that ... -
Environmental learning and individual spatial factors: the role of self-efficacy: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Learning paths from real navigation: the advantage of initial view, cardinal north and visuospatial ability: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
‘Imageable’ numbers: theory-based urban design for immersive psychometrics research: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Why know myself? Flexible behaviour and the need for self-modelling: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021)In this paper I argue that some forms of the capacity for behavioural flexibility entail a specific kind of representation, a self-model. This means that systems with that capacity, among them human beings, must have ... -
Is addressable memory required for spatial cognition?: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021)This paper investigates the computational basis of the temporal and spatial cognition that underlies certain animal behaviours. For example, ants, when they find food, are able to encode the compass direction which takes ... -
Directional sense in familiar environments misaligned with the cardinal directions: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Head direction signals during navigation: comparing movement and stationary periods: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
The influence of others’ actions on perspective taking: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Reference frames for spatial and social thinking: Individual differences in strategy use: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Based on a true story: how fictionality affects spatial cognition of events: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Mini-maps aid spatial cognition within virtual worlds: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021) -
Changes in the flight paths of pigeons based on extended spatial landmarks: Poster
(University of Latvia, 2021)The navigational behavior of birds is based on the spatial perception of the terrain over which they fly. Not only single reference points, but also continuous linear and areal objects can be visually perceived in flight ...
