{"pk":25880,"title":"The space of spatial relations: An extended stimulus set","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Spatial configurations allow for many different kinds of spatial relations between objects. Previous cross-linguistic\nwork in this domain relies on a valuable but restricted stimulus set, the Topological Relations Picture Series (TRPS), which\nhas two major limitations: (1) it covers a small subset of the spatial semantic domain, focusing on the IN/ON area, and (2) it\ncovers that subset in an unsystematic way. We propose to create a large stimulus set of spatial relations that covers the space\nof possible relations in a more comprehensive way and includes the TRPS as a subset. The extended set will be systematically\ngenerated from a large family of spatial features describing relations between figure and ground objects, such as contact,\nsupport, attachment-by-spiking, and others that have been previously proposed. All stimuli will be rendered in 3D and released\nto the public to aid basic research in spatial language and cognition.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8501t1k5","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Alexandra","middle_name":"","last_name":"Carstensen","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":""},{"first_name":"Yang","middle_name":"","last_name":"Xu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":""},{"first_name":"Charles","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kemp","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Terry","middle_name":"","last_name":"Regier","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25880/galley/15504/download/"}]}
