How the Learning Path and the Very Structure of a Multifloored Environment Influence Human Spatial Memory
Few studies have explored how humans memorize landmarks in complex multifloored buildings. They have observed that participants memorize an environment either by floors or by vertical columns, influenced by the learning path. However, the influence of the building's actual structure is not yet known. In order to investigate this influence, we conducted an experiment using an object-in-place pro...
متن کاملExploiting Spatial Memory and Navigation Performance in Dynamic Peephole Environments
One way to handle the representation of (and the navigation in) datasets that exceed the available display space is by provisioning movable viewports which display a subset of the entire space. Unlike static viewports, where the information space is moved (e.g. by panning), dynamic viewports – so-called dynamic peepholes – allow the user to move the viewport in physical space and thereby enable...
متن کاملMelatonin improves spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin as an antioxidant on spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats. Thirty-two male white Wistar rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were divided into four groups, randomly: control, melatonin, diabetic and melatonin-treated diabetic. Experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg kg-1 streptozotocin. Melatonin...
متن کاملInfluence of Vertical Navigation Metaphors on Presence
A sense of spatial presence as a feeling of “being there” is an important part of the virtual experience. Navigation is a fundamental task in virtual environments and the specific navigation methods that are employed influence a user’s sense of presence. In this paper we investigate how different metaphors for vertical navigation impact spatial presence. We introduce a new elevator metaphor for...
متن کاملHow Does Working Memory Enable Number-Induced Spatial Biases?
Number-space associations are a robust observation, but their underlying mechanisms remain debated. Two major accounts have been identified. First, spatial codes may constitute an intrinsic part of number representations stored in the brain - a perspective most commonly referred to as the Mental Number Line account. Second, spatial codes may be generated at the level of working memory when numb...
