Mar 23, 2021 · The papers in this special issue center around three major topics: (a) spatial thinking and the skill of mental rotation; (b) spatial thinking in the classroom context or in STEM curricula; and (c) spatial thinking in wayfinding or large-scale spatial cognition.

Spatial learning refers to the process by which an organism acquires a mental representation of its environment. Spatial learning has been found in both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Spatial learning refers to our ability to perceive, remember, and use spatial information acquired in the environment. Memory, on the other hand, involves our ability to store and retrieve information about the world around us. Both spatial learning and memory are crucial for our ability to navigate and explore our environment effectively. The ...

Several theories have been developed to account for spatial learning. For S–R theorists, spatial learning consists of chaining together a number of motor responses linking relevant external stimuli (stimulus–response associations).

Sep 2, 2024 · Spatial thinking is an area of intelligence that many are not aware of, which is distinct from verbal and quantitative intelligence (Atit et al., 2021; Shea et al., 2001). Additionally, spatial...

Jan 1, 2024 · Spatial learning and memory refers to the set of behaviors and processes through which information about external environmental space is acquired, stored, organized, and used. These phenomena provide a paradigm to systematically study the neural basis of cognition.

Spatial knowledge includes the knowledge of the spatial relationships between objects of an environment in the individual’s wayfinding process (declarative spatial knowledge) and the knowledge about how to move in this environment (procedural spatial knowledge) (Sorrentino et …

May 1, 2012 · Spatial learning and memory are important for navigation and formation of episodic memories. The hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) are key brain areas for spatial learning and memory. Place cells in hippocampus fire whenever an animal is located in a specific region in the environment.

In cognitive psychology, spatial cognition is the acquisition, organization, utilization, and revision of knowledge about spatial environments. It is most about how animals, including humans, behave within space and the knowledge they built around it, rather than space itself.
