Focusing Narrowly or Broadly Attention When Judging Categorical and Coordinate Spatial Relations: A MEG Study
We measured activity in the dorsal system of the human cortex with magnetoencephalography (MEG) during a matching-to-sample plus cueing paradigm, where participants judged the occurrence of changes in either categorical or coordinate spatial relations (e.g., exchanges of left versus right positions or changes in the relative distances) between images of pairs of animals. The attention window wa...
متن کاملVarying the scope of attention alters the encoding of categorical and coordinate spatial relations.
Two types of representations can be used to specify spatial relations: Coordinate spatial relations representations specify the precise distance between two objects, whereas categorical spatial relations representations assign a category (such as above or below) to specify a spatial relation between two objects. Computer simulation models suggest that coordinate spatial relations representation...
متن کاملCategorical and coordinate spatial relations in working memory: an fMRI study.
Spatial relations within and between objects can be represented either coordinately or categorically. Coordinate representations concern metric and precise relations, and are strongly associated with right parietal cortex activity, while categorical representations relate to more qualitative, abstract relations, and have shown to have a, somewhat weaker, relationship with left parietal cortex a...
متن کاملThe study of hemispheric specialization for categorical and coordinate spatial relations in animals.
This article reviews some of the most representative studies in the animal literature pertaining to the processing of categorical and coordinate spatial relations and of their hemispheric control. Although the processing of coordinate and categorical cognition has been studied directly with nonhuman primates, experiments on cerebral asymmetries in avian spatial orientation are also reviewed. It...
متن کاملCoordinate and categorical judgements in spatial imagery. An fMRI study.
We aimed at verifying whether the hemispheric specialisation for categorical/coordinate spatial judgements also applies to the spatial imagery domain by the use of whole-brain fMRI. In a block-design experiment we used the "coordinate" mental clock test, contrasting it with a "categorical" task applied to the same clock stimuli; as a control task we used a syllable counting task requiring a ver...
