Inertial cues, landmarks, and geometrical cues in spatial memory and navigation

我的研究计划的总体目标是增加我们对人们如何在记忆中表示空间信息以及人们如何使用空间记忆进行导航的理解。我提出了四条研究路线来调查(1)在编码位置之间的空间关系方面，边界(例如墙)是否优于单一地标(例如树)，(2)人们如何使用地标和几何信息来重新定位城市，(3)运动过程中的惯性线索(身体运动信号)和视觉线索是否有助于路线的空间表示，以及(4)可视信息是否以及何时可以重置路径整合系统。

The general objective of my research program has been to increase our understanding of how people represent spatial information in memory and how people use spatial memory for navigation. I propose four lines of research to investigate (1) whether a boundary (e.g. a wall) is superior to a single landmark (e.g. a tree) in encoding spatial relations between locations, (2) how people use landmarks and geometrical information to reorient in a city, (3) whether the inertial cues (body movement signals) and the visual cues during locomotion contribute to spatial representations of a route, and (4) whether and when visual information can reset the path integration system.
