{"pk":27262,"title":"Mouse Tracking Shows Attraction to Alternative TargetsWhile Grounding Spatial Relations","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Evidence that higher cognitive processes are coupled in agraded and time-continuous way to sensory-motor processescomes, in part, from mouse-tracking studies. In these, curvedmouse trajectories toward one of two fixed response locationsreveal the evolution of certainty about a cognitive task that par-ticipants solve. We present a paradigm in which selection ofthe response location is itself the cognitive task. From amongitems in a visual scene, participants select a target that is de-scribed by a spatial relation (e.g.,“the red to the left of thegreen”), where one target item (here, “red”) matches the de-scription better than alternative same-colored targets. In themouse trajectories, we find clear evidence for attraction tothe alternative targets, attraction to the reference item (here“green”), and an early biasing influence of the spatial term.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0tc214m1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jonas","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lins","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ruhr-Universit ̈at Bochum","department":""},{"first_name":"Gregor","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sch ̈oner","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ruhr-Universit ̈at Bochum","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27262/galley/16898/download/"}]}
