{"pk":28595,"title":"Spatial Memory of Immediate Environments","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Memorizing and retrieving information about the spatial layoutof one’s surrounding is of crucial importance for humans. Wepropose a new theory of spatial memory of immediate envi-ronments and develop a corresponding computational realiza-tion. We detail how the theory explains key findings on humanspatial memory (use) and show that the computational real-ization accounts well for human behavior from three pertinentexperiments. One implication of the theory’s success is thatenduring spatial memory representations may best be concep-tualized as flexible combinations of representation structuresand reference frames.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"spatial memory; spatial reference frames; interfer-ence; perspective taking; computational modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Oral Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9k30f8d1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Holger","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schultheis","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Bremen","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28595/galley/18466/download/"}]}
