Cue Interaction between Buildings and Street Configurations during Reorientation in Familiar and Unfamiliar Outdoor Environments
Download2017-07-24
Weimin Mou, Peter Dixon, Lin Wang
Two experiments investigated how people use buildings and street configurations to reorient in large-scale environments. In immersive virtual environments, participants learned objects’ locations in an intersection consisting of four streets. The objects’ locations were specified by two cues: a...

Effect of Room Size on Geometry and Features Cue Preference during Reorientation: Modulating Encoding Strength or Cue Weighting
Download2019-01-01
Three experiments investigated how the room size affects preferential use of geometric and non-geometric cues during reorientation inside a room. We hypothesized that room size may affect preferential use of geometric and non-geometric cues by affecting the encoding of the cues (the encoding...

Cognitive mapping is assumed to be through hippocampus-dependent place learning rather than striatum-dependent response learning. However, we propose that either type of spatial learning, as long as it involves encoding metric relations between locations and reference points, could lead to a...
