Objective: Language abilities in adulthood remain relatively intact with increasing age, while
spatial abilities decline. However, much less is known about ageing effects on spatial …

Building on earlier neuropsychological work, we adopted a novel individual differences
approach to examine the relationship between spatial language and a wide range of both …

Objective: Age-related impairments in human visual short-term memory (VSTM) may reflect
a reduced ability to retain bound object representations, viz., object form, name, spatial, and …

Prior experiments have shown that young children, like adult rats, rely mainly on information
about the macroscopic shape of the environment to reorient themselves, whereas human …

Humans move through the environment to reach a place mainly using two strategies:
egocentric, taking the viewer's position as a point of reference, and allocentric, employing …

Mental representations of space can be generated and communicated with respect to
different reference frames and perspectives. The present study investigated the effects of …

Spatial language helps us to encode relations between objects and organize our thinking.
Little is known about the neural instantiations of spatial language. Using voxel-lesion …

The impact of age-related changes in visual-perceptual processing on naming ability has
not been reported. The present study investigated the effects of 6 levels of spatial frequency …

Age-related spatial navigation decline is more pronounced in patients with mild cognitive
impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. We used a realistic-looking …

Visuospatial functions are particularly vulnerable to the aging process. Decline of these
processes can seriously affect an individual's functional independence and quality of life …
