It has been argued that the human cognitive system is capable of using spatial indexes or
oculomotor coordinates to relieve working memory load (Ballard, DH, Hayhoe, MM, Pook …

Does a behavioral and anatomical division exist between spatial and object working
memory? In this article, we explore this question by testing human participants in simple …

Surrounding space is not inherently organized, but we tend to treat it as though it consisted
of regions (eg, front, back, right, and left). The current studies show that these conceptual …

Under many circumstances, children and adult rats reorient themselves through a process
which operates only on information about the shape of the environment (eg, Cheng, 1986; …

This second volume in the Counterpoints Series, which explores issues in psychology, child
development, linguistics, and neuroscience, focuses on alternative models of visual-spatial …

We examined how a highly familiar environmental space—one's city of residence—is
represented in memory. Twenty-six participants faced a photo-realistic virtual model of their …

Spatial selective attention and spatial working memory have largely been studied in
isolation. Studies of spatial attention have provided clear evidence that observers can bias …

Recent experiments indicate the need for revision of a model of spatial memory consisting of
viewpoint-specific representations, egocentric spatial updating and a geometric module for …

Ferreira et al.[1] outline an 'integrated representation theory'of the 'looking at
nothing'phenomenon that we have previously documented [2–9]. We largely agree with the …

This article reports 3 experiments that tested a hypothesis regarding the nature of rehearsal
in spatial working memory, one in which discrete shifts of spatial selective attention mediate …
