The Long and Short of It: Development of Spatial Scaling Abilities
نویسنده
چکیده
Spatial scaling – the ability to transform distance information from one space to another space of different size – constitutes an integral aspect of many spatial tasks that involve different representational systems or symbol-to-referent correspondences (e.g., map reading, navigation, drawing, etc.). It potentially also bears relevance to physical, geometrical or mathematical reasoning, which involves proportional thinking, referencing, and comparing of magnitudes. Spatial scaling ability may thus constitute an essential prerequisite for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that exercise enhances cognitive and functional capacities in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the effect of long-term (60 days) and short- term (10 days) exercise on the spatial memory deficits in an animal model of AD. Methods: Fifty male rats were divided into 5 groups 1) intact, 2) sham, 3) sham-Alzheimer 4) ...

Iran is located in dry zone of mid-latitude in which the mean rainfall is 250 mm and it has dramatic tempo-spatial changes. Rainfalls with short persistency are of characteristics of dry regions and it is also tangible in Iran. However, Iran’s rainfalls persistency ranges from 1 to 45 days and have dramatic tempo-spatial changes, but the maximum amount and days of rainfalls are supplied by rain...

Knowing of precipitation values in different regions is always of main and strategic issues of human which has important role in short- term and long-term decisions. In order to determine of precipitation model and forecasting it, there are different models, but given that the precipitation data have a spatial autocorrelation, the spatial statistic is a powerful tool to recognition of spatial b...
