Influences of Context on Memory for Routes
Possible influences of contexts on memory for routes are investigated. Route knowledge was established by learning a route which was presented on a computer screen. Activation of k...

Inference and Visualization of Spatial Relations
We present an approach to spatial inference which is based on the procedural semantics of spatial relations. In contrast to qualitative reasoning, we do not use discrete symbolic m...

Investigating Spatial Reference Systems through Distortions in Visual Memory
Memory representations of spatial information require the choice of one or more reference systems to specify spatial relations. In two experiments we investigated the role of diffe...
