A foolish consistency? Aligning interface objects hinders location recall and may induce collinear errors
During our nearly constant use of digital devices, perhaps our most frequent need is to
visually identify icons representing our content and invoke the actions to manipulate them …

[HTML][HTML] Reference frames in allocentric representations are invariant across static and active encoding
An influential model of spatial memory—the so-called reference systems account—proposes
that relationships between objects are biased by salient axes (“frames of reference”) …
