Inhibition accompanies reference-frame selection

Article Abstract:

Experiments have been undertaken to study whether the choice of reference frame involves the inhibition of nonselected reference frames. Findings reveal significant negative priming in both endpoints of the axis of a reference frame. This suggests that inhibition is involved in reference frame selection. Additional experiments have been been done which examined if reference-frame selection is affected when observers have to select the located object. Results also reveal negative priming on both endpoints of the axis of a reference frame.

Cognitive suppression during saccadic eye movements

Article Abstract:

Saccadic eye movements suppress many cognitive activities, such as mental rotation, which is essential for object recognition and spatial reasoning. However, this suppression is no more noticeable than the suppression of visual inputs during saccades or the disruptions in visual inputs during eye blinks. The suppression of cognitive activities occurs only while sharing limited processing resources. The nature and mechanism of suppression of saccadic suppression require further investigation.

The influence of functional relations on spatial term selection

Article Abstract:

People prefer intrinsic descriptions to express spatial relation between objects in the presence of functional relation and deictic-extrinsic description in the absence of this relation. Contextual components of the situation and the meaningful relation between objects affect the selection of reference frame. The binding of intrinsic components with functional, and extrinsic description with nonfunctional, pictures depends upon the characterization of reference frames.
