Three experiments tested whether geometric biases--biases away from perceived reference axes--reported in spatial recall tasks with pointing responses generalized to a recognition task that required a verbal response. Seven-year-olds and adults remembered the location of a dot within a rectangle and then either reproduced its location or verbally selected a matching choice dot from a set of col...

Wayfinding behavior and spatial knowledge constitute the two main topics of spatial cognition research with respect to a large-scale or environmental space, that is, a space which is not perceivable from one single vantage point (e.g., Canter & Craig, 1981). Unfortunately, these two aspects of spatial cognition (i.e., wayfinding behavior and spatial knowledge) have been addressed separately mos...

Objective: Zataria multiflora (ZM) is a plant with ethnopharmacological value which was recently tested to reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ZM essential oil on spatial cognitive and noncognitive behavior, as well as hippocampal tau protein and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) concentrations in ra...

â â  in this research, temporal and spatial behavior of subtropical high pressure was studied at the level of 600 hpa. this study has been done using daily data of geopotential height at 12 gmt in ncep/ncar database with spatial resolution of 2.5ã—2.5 degree in a 55 years period including 20089 days from january, 1st, 1951(dey, 11th, 1329) to december, 31st,2005(dey, 10th,1384). at first, the m...
