Cue integration in spatial search for jointly learned landmarks but not for separately learned landmarks--Manuscript
Download2016-01-01
Mou, Weimin, Madan, Christopher R., Du, Yu, McMillan, Neil, Spetch, Marcia L.
We investigated how humans use multiple landmarks to locate a goal. Participants searched for a hidden goal location along a line between two distinct landmarks on a computer screen. On baseline trials, the location of the landmarks and goal varied, but the distance between each of the landmarks...

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...

Cultural Empathy in Intercultural Interactions: The Development and Validation of the Intercultural Empathy Index
Download2022-03-20
Zhang, Ying Shan Doris, Noels, Kimberly A.
Based on discussions of cultural empathy in intercultural communication and counseling and multicultural psychology, this paper presents a model and a measure of cultural empathy suited for a broad range intercultural interactions - the Intercultural Empathy Index (IEI). We examined the IEI’s...

data set of project 39 across boundary location consistency
2024-07-24
data and matlab codes to do analyses of project 39 to investigate across boundary consistency between locations and orientations. There are two experiments. For each one, step 1 calculate participants' heading and position estimates from pointing directions.

Xuehui Lei, Weimin Mou, Lei Zhang
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...

Differential immediate early gene activity revealed by playback of male and female incomplete chick-a-dee calls
Download2020-01-01
Scully, E.N., Montenegro, C., & Sturdy, C.B.
In both humans and animals, biological differences between males and females has long been a topic of research. In songbirds, sexual dimorphisms can be seen in many species’ plumage and heard in some species’ songs. However, not all songbirds have such overt phenotypic sexual differences, leading...

Disrupted Orientation After Path Integration by Absence of Anticipated Prevalent Spatial Views
Download2024-01-01
Two previous studies indicated that removing expected landmarks disrupts homing, a new phenomenon concerning the interplay between path integration and landmark-based navigation. This study systematically investigated when this disruption occurs, which spatial representations are disrupted, and...
