The Effect of Structure on Object-Location Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to study the effect of structure in a graphical layout on object-location memory. In two experiments several structures have been examined in respect to the performance of object-location retrieval. The results show that beside simple object-to-object spatial relations also the spatial relation of three objects is encoded in human spatial memory as a noisy distance-angular pair. Further the results show that noise in spatial memory is not symmetric, but seems to be distorted towards a higher accuracy to the horizontal directions.

متن کاملThe Effect of Luteinizing Hormone Reducing Agent on Anxiety and Novel Object Recognition Memory in Gonadectomized Rats
Introduction: Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression are common following menopause and andropause. The lack of sex steroid hormones is suggested as the primary cause of these disturbances. The level of luteinizing hormone (LH) would also rise 3-4 times than normal in these people. The potential effects of LH on mood and cognitive symptoms following menopause and andropause are not clear...
متن کاملEffect of Object Location on Selecting the Limb in Unilateral Reaching in 5- to 6-Year-Old Children
Purpose: The traditional view regards limb selection in reaching a hemispheric specialization and an permanent biological phenomenon. However, recent studies have questioned this idea. Instead, they suggest that the task conditions is also an effective factor. The present study includes two experiments in right and left handed children examining the effect of object location as a task condition...
