Detecting seasonal episodic-like spatiotemporal memory patterns using animal movement modelling
Download2021-01-01
Peter R. Thompson, Andrew E. Derocher, Mark A. Edwards, Mark A. Lewis
Spatial memory plays a role in the way animals perceive their environments, resulting in memory-informed movement patterns that are observable to ecologists. Developing mathematical techniques to understand how animals use memory in their environments allows for an increased understanding of...

Spatial navigation updates people’s self-location (heading and position) and meanwhile develops spatial memory. Environments in real life are often multiscale environments, which contain a number of individual spaces separated by boundaries. People primarily rely on visual cues (piloting) to...

This study investigated the extent to which people can develop a global representation of local environments through across-boundary navigation. Participants learned objects’ locations in two misaligned rectangular rooms in an immersive virtual environment. After learning, they adopted a local...

Previous research has provided a lot of evidence about spatial navigation on 2D surfaces whereas how animals represent space in 3D navigation involving vertical information is much less often investigated (Jeffery, Jovalekic, Verriotis, & Hayman, 2013; Jeffery, Wilson, Casali, & Hayman, 2015)....

The spatial distributions of animals have fascinated scientists for centuries. Understanding where animals go and why helps ecologists conserve their populations. Technological advances during the 21st century have allowed scientists to record the spatial location of animals over time, motivating...

Memory is critical to understanding animal movement but has proven challenging to study. Advances in animal tracking technology, theoretical movement models and cognitive sciences have facilitated research in each of these fields, but also created a need for synthetic examination of the linkages...
