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...

There are many reasons, some of which are better than others for sustaining motivation over the long run. Research evidence suggests that a personally relevant, self-engaged, and inherently interested orientation to language study supports engagement in the learning process, and thereby a variety...

Since the early 2000s, almost 300 SDT-relevant empirical journal articles and approximately the same number of dissertations have been published, with at least half appearing in the last five years. A review of the studies published in peer-reviewed journals (see Table 1) shows that half of...

Kwong, T., Nicoladis, E.

Researchers have long known that multiple-birth children are predisposed toward language impairment and delay. Proposed explanations include the frequentlow birth weight of multiple birth children, unspecified genetic factors, and differences in the linguistic environment that seem to correlate...

Gao, H.H., Nicoladis, E. , Wang, H.

Within a semantic domain, terms that can be used in a similar way to describe a similar event are members of the same class of words, or near-synonyms. They are common in a language but difficult to distinguish from one and another. Physical action verbs such as ‘throw’ verbs are a typical...

Anthropogenic noise has been shown to impact animal behaviour. Most studies investigating anthropogenic noise, and the detrimental effect it has on behaviour, have been conducted in the field, where a myriad of covariates can make interpretation challenging. In this experiment, we studied the...

Two types of visual features are identified as reference points used by individuals to encode locations: surface-based boundaries and discrete-object-based landmarks. Previous research show that learning locations relative to a boundary can overshadow learning relative to a landmark, but not vice...

Visual and idiothetic information are coupled in forming multimodal spatial representations during navigation (Tcheang, Bülthoff, & Burgess, 2011). We investigated whether idiothetic representations activate visual representations but not vice versa (unidirectional coupling) or whether these two...
