Mapping spatial relations
… thesis, I present a computational theory for how spatial relations are grounded in the perceptual world. Three constraints are critical to this theory: abstractness, groundedness and flexibility all of which need to be satisfied in order to explain the structure of spatial concepts. I then show …

Working memory for spatial relations
… the capacity of observers’ WM for the spatial relations among objects in a visual display and the results suggest that the “items” in WM are neither simply objects nor simply role bindings. The results of Experiment 1 are most consistent with a model that treats an “item” is visual WM …

A Scene Schema Memory Model for Spatial Relations
… of recall and recognition for five types of spatial relations. The integrated model assumes that recall involves retrieval processes where the retrieval of a relation depends on both its strength which is determined by the amount of attention it receives, and the degree to which it fits the …

A role for long term memory in search for spatial relations
… research attention is paid to how we process relationships between objects and features. Our ability to appreciate relations between objects allows us to comprehend graphs, maps, and diagrams. Some argue that our ability to comprehend relations (visual and otherwise) is what makes us human …

Ways of arrangement : the basic operations of form-making
… and arranging things is essentially to establish spatial relations among selected elements. The thesis provides a minimal set of basic operations believed to be sufficient for constructing any given configuration. These basic operations can aggregate to make compound operations handy to designers. …

Decision making in a decision support systems environment: an evaluation of spatial ability and task structure
… for this variation is that individual’s spatial ability has a moderating effect on performance. Another factor found to impact decision performance is the structure of the task. The purpose of this study is to determine whether spatial ability factors have a moderating effect on decision …
