Frame of Reference - Definition, Types and Examples
2024年5月6日 · Frame of reference is a way to observe and measure objects' positions and movements. It acts like a coordinate system, helping us understand where things are and how they move. By using a frame of reference, we can describe motion accurately. It makes it clear if something is moving fast, slow, or at rest.
Orientation Representations and Frames of Reference: The COR …
2009年5月1日 · This chapter presents the coordinate-system orientation representation (COR) hypothesis. It lays out the assumptions of the COR and then discusses the various forms of orientation errors that could arise in constructing or using the posited representations.
10 - Design Applications of Visual Spatial Thinking
The frame of reference can be defined by three axes of translation and three axes of orientation, each with either static or dynamic properties. In this chapter we describe important human performance limitations that constrain visual–spatial thinking, as these are related to mental rotation and transformations of location.
Spatial memory and frames of reference: How deeply do we
2024年8月10日 · A recent study explored the role of motor resources on the combinations of three visuo-spatial factors: egocentric and allocentric frames of reference, categorical and coordinate spatial relations, peripersonal and extrapersonal space (Ruggiero et al. 2020).
Reference frames can be prescribed by the viewer’s gaze, head, or trunk, by intrinsic characteris- tics of an object, or by the environment. To determine the frames of reference involved in human vision and attention, neurological patients with unilat-
Spatial Representations and Frames of Reference: Theoretical ...
This chapter discusses the frame-of-reference concept, arguing that this concept has been the subject of considerable confusion in cognitive and neuroscientific research on spatial representation. In particular, it argues that two distinct questions about frames of reference in the brain have been massively conflated and that the dominant ...
Multiple reference frames used by the human brain for spatial ...
2010年2月26日 · A reference frame determines what kind of spatial location is represented, and how locations are specified within a spatial representation (McCloskey 2001). In recent years, it is often thought that humans and animals use two main classes of …
Frames of reference in vision and language: Where is above?
1993年3月1日 · Three distinct classes of reference frames exist for representing the spatial relationships among objects in the world (Farah, Brunn, Wong, Wallace, & Carpenter, 1990; Hinton & Parsons, 1988; Marr, 1982, Pinker, 1984; Rock, 1975; Shepard & Hurwitz, 1984): viewercentered frames, object-centered frames, and environment-centered frames of reference.
Knowledge Across Reference Frames: Cognitive Maps and …
2020年8月1日 · We review evidence supporting cognitive maps and image spaces, and we propose a hippocampal–parietal network that can account for the organization and retrieval of knowledge across multiple reference frames.
Visual Performance Fields: Frames of Reference | PLOS ONE
2011年9月8日 · Allocentric reference frames can be based on the direction of the pull of gravity (geocentric frame), or on the visual context of the surrounding environment (pattern-centric frame). Numerous experimental findings reflect dissociations between egocentric and allocentric spatial reference frames.
