Cognitive Map Generation for Vision and Language Navigation
… efficiency.</p> <p>This thesis proposes a novel Cognitive Map-based framework that addresses these challenges by transforming natural language navigation instructions into structured graph representations. The Cognitive Map consists of nodes representing waypoints, landmarks, decision points, and …

Error correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map
… correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map Tereza Vargová Summary Spatial navigation is a crucial skill for survival. The hippocampal-medial-entorhinal network contains multiple classes of spatially modulated cells, namely place cells, grid cells, border cells, and head …

What’s in a cognitive map? Action representations in the hippocampal-entorhinal system
… cortex are often taken as building blocks of a ‘cognitive map’, a mental representation of relational information. Nonetheless, relating these representations to behaviour, especially in non-spatial domains, has proven difficult. In this thesis, it will be argued that entorhinal representations …

Charting the hippocampal cognitive map: Investigating the emergence of grid cell and place cell firing patterns in novel and familiar environments
… cells comprise the main building blocks of the cognitive map which is used to encode our surroundings quickly and rapidly. Prominent theoretical models argue that place cells emerge via a linear summation of different grid cells from the medial entorhinal cortex. However, recent experimental …

The spatial learning method : facilitation of learning through the use of cognitive mapping in virtual reality
… people unconsciously build up a mental image, or cognitive map, of that environment. When later planning a trip or giving directions to someone else, they can mentally walk through the environment, remembering features relevant to their current task. This process of building up a cognitive map of …

Assessing Spatial Orientation Skills in Athletes After Sustaining a Concussion: A Pilot Study
… hockey participants’ abilities to form and use cognitive maps. To assess cognitive map formation and use a modified version of the Spatial Configuration Task (m-SCT), a computerized tool that has been shown to quantitatively measure an individual’s ability to form and use cognitive maps (Burles, …

The Image from the Road: Towards Mapping the Phenomenological
… focus, used in early and contemporary forms of cognitive geography research, is the ‘cognitive map’, a concept that suggests “that people hold a map-like database in their minds to which they can add and use to tackle geographical tasks”. Kevin Lynch, an urban planner in the 1960s, was an early …

Organised variations in space and time in the hippocampal representation of location
… animal’s location within the environment, or a “cognitive map”. In mammals, this is thought to be supported by various spatially sensitive neurons in the hippocampal formation, including grid and place cells. The cognitive map also flexibly adjusts previous representations to reflect changes in a …

A novel training program for improving spatial orientation: A pilot study
… mental representation, more commonly known as a “cognitive map”, provides detailed information about landmarks and their relationships with each other in space. The inability to effectively form or use cognitive maps is typically compensated by using lower-level, less efficient approaches to …

Naturalistic Decision-Making in Law Enforcement Practice — Exploring The Process
… this information for subsequent development of a cognitive map. Additionally, all the officers pursued a comprehensive preparation phase that consisted of the creation of worst-case scenarios and planning tactics to effectively respond to these cases. When decision-making was required, the …

The neural correlates of Human Spatial Memory and Representation
… able to construct what has been described as a “cognitive map” (Tolman, 1948) that allows us to accurately direct ourselves within our environment, be it throughout a city or within a building, in an automobile or on foot. However, how these representations interact remains poorly understood. In …

The impact of acute psychological stress on spatial cognition
… and relocated a hidden target equally well (Le., cognitive map-guided navigation was intact in unstressed participants). In addition, on the spatial navigation task the interaction effect of the gender and experimental condition approached statistical significance (p = 0.085), suggesting that …

Cognitive conflict in learning three-dimensional space station structures
… comments suggest that unlearning the GC cognitive map posed a significant challenge, and that subjects' knowledge of modules in GC, acquired earlier in the experiment, impeded their learning in FC, at least for the complex FC we used. Results of a Perspective Taking Ability test …

Negative dramaturgies and the development of productive negation
The content of this dissertation is a cognitive map of divergent methodologies that contributed to the creation of a practice based on physical and conceptual, academic and non-academic, modes of knowledge-making and knowledge-gathering. I will show how the act of negating, whether verbally or …

Corporeal routes: climbing towards culture

The hippocampus and its electrographic activity
… hypothesis that the hippocampus functions as a cognitive map. The adequacy of the three theories is tested against anatomical, physiological and behavioural evidence, and it is concluded that only the inhibitory theory is both internally consistent and able to accommodate the data. Furthermore, …
