This study investigated when the Bayesian cue combination of piloting and path integration occurs in human homing behaviors. The Bayesian cue combination was hypothesized to occur in estimating the home location or self-localization. In Experiment 1, the participants learned the locations of five...

Path integration, rather than being suppressed, is used to update spatial views in familiar environments with constantly available landmarks

This project tested three hypotheses conceptualizing the interaction between path integration based on self-motion and piloting based on landmarks in a familiar environment with persistent landmarks. The first hypothesis posits that path integration functions automatically, as in environments...

This project, following the elegant paradigm developed by Zhao and Warren (2015b), investigated how self-motion cues and landmarks are used during navigation in a familiar environment with constantly available landmarks. Participants learned the location of a specific object. After completing one...
