Figures for the Manuscript titled as 'Superior Cognitive Mapping through Single-landmark-related Learning than through Boundary-related Learning'
Figures for the Manuscript titled as 'Superior Cognitive Mapping through Single-landmark-related Learning than through Boundary-related Learning'

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...

From Scattering Dots to Cognitive Maps: Contributions of visual features in localization and cognitive mapping
DownloadFall 2016
Localizing oneself and other objects in an environment is important in everyday life. Various visual features available in our surroundings can serve as spatial cues to support accurate localization. Encoding individual locations can be achieved by establishing a vector between a target location...

The effects of cue placement on the relative dominance of boundaries and landmark arrays in goal localization
Download2019-05-06
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...

Background Animal movement modelling provides unique insight about how animals perceive their landscape and how this perception may influence space use. When coupled with data describing an animal’s environment, ecologists can fit statistical models to location data to describe how spatial memory...
