Analysis of a Blindfolded Architect’s Design Session
Architects deal with visual/spatial features and organization of larger scale real world elements than other domains. The use of mental imagery in the architectural design process is the key issue to transform and mimic the spatial aspects of the environment. Depending on the focus of the design process, the use of imagery could relate directly to visuo-spatial aspects, or could be about manipu...
متن کاملVisuo-Spatial Imagery Impairment in Posterior Cortical Atrophy: A Cognitive and SPECT Study
This study investigated the cognitive profile and the cerebral perfusion pattern in a highly educated 70 year old gentleman with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). Visuo-perceptual abilities, spatial memory, spatial representation and navigation, visuo-spatial mental imagery, semantic and episodic-autobiographical memory were assessed. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was imaged with SPECT. C...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of the Interplay of Symbolic and Visuo-spatial Systems inMathematical Reasoning
The purpose of this fMRI study was to provide evidence for the mathematician’s belief that mathematical thinking emerges from the interplay between symbolic and visuospatial systems. Twelve participants were given algebra word problems and depicted the quantitative relations on a mental number line or made parts of an equation. The regions activated in depicting the picture were also recruited ...
متن کاملDeeply Semantic Inductive Spatio-Temporal Learning
We present an inductive spatio-temporal learning framework rooted in inductive logic programming. With an emphasis on visuo-spatial language, logic, and cognition, the framework supports learning with relational spatio-temporal features identifiable in a range of domains involving the processing and interpretation of dynamic visuo-spatial imagery. We present a prototypical system, and an exampl...
متن کاملIndividual differences in brain activity during visuo-spatial processing assessed by slow cortical potentials and LORETA.
Using slow-cortical potentials (SCPs), Vitouch et al. demonstrated that subjects with low ability to solve a complex visuo-spatial imagery task show higher activity in occipital, parietal and frontal cortex during task processing than subjects with high ability. This finding has been interpreted in the sense of the so-called "neural efficiency" hypothesis, which assumes that the central nervous...
