Abstract:

Les théories qui modélisent la perception spatiale chez l'adulte s'accordent à postuler l'existence de liens forts entre la perception et l'action(James, 1892 ; Poincaré, 1902 ; Gibson, 1979 ; Noe, 2004). Une vaste collection de données montre également que ces liens sont présents dans le développement ontogénétique. Ce travail de thèse vise à examiner les implications de tels liens dans le développement de la perception spatiale et d'en identifier les déterminants chez l'enfant. Nous avons mené une série d'expériences, basée sur l'utilisation des paradigmes d'atteignabilité et d'amorçage visu

La pseudonegligence observee chez les normaux (bowers et heilman, 1980) consiste a repondre a gauche du centre objectif quand on demande de partager des lignes horizontales par le milieu. Certains l'expliquent par la nature spatiale de la tache qui, en activant l'hemisphere d, entrainerait un "surdimensionnement" de la partie g du stimulus. Mais son instabilite souligne aussi la puissance du biais d'orientation vers la d. D'autres pensent que le sens de l'exploration determine celui des deviations, ou invoquent un amorcage de l'attention du cote ou debute l'exploration. Nous avons teste l'hypo

Abstract:

To interact with the environmet, it is crucial to have a clear space representation. Several findings have shown that the space around our body is split in several portions, which are differentially coded by the brain. Evidences of such subdivision have been reported by studies on people affected by neglect, on space near (peripersonal) and far (extrapersonal) to the body position and considering space around specific different portion of the body. Moreover, recent studies showed that sensory modalities are at the base of important cognitive skills. However, it is still unclear if each sensor

Abstract:

Research over the last decade has shown that auditorily cuing the location of visual targets reduces the time taken to locate and identify targets for both free-field and virtually presented sounds. The first study conducted for this thesis confirmed these findings over an extensive region of free-field space. However, the number of sound locations that are measured and stored in the data library of most 3-D audio spatial systems is limited, so that there is often a discrepancy in position between the cued and physical location of the target. Sampling limitations in the systems also produce

The current study evaluated the ability of 20 younger and 20 older adults to discriminate shapes depicted by Glass patterns. On any given trial, observers identified a particular pattern as either possessing a radial or concentric organization. Detecting a shape defined by a Glass pattern requires the successful detection of the orientations of its constituent local dipoles. In addition, long-range processes are needed to integrate the spatially separated dipoles into perceivable contours that have a particular (e.g., radial or concentric) organization. In the current experiment, the shapes we

Abstract:

It is contended that space can act as a metaphor for social relationships. The thesis draws on schema theory from cognitive psychology to explain how the affective qualities of social stimuli serve to bias the 'cognitive maps' of individuals. Supporting evidence is cited from the fields of cognitive, social, environmental and neuro-psychology. The metaphor is tested experimentally from a micro-spatial level (e. g. spatial locations of characters in a photograph) up to a macro-spatial level (spatial locations of towns). The affective valence of the stimuli used were either a priori based (e. g.

Abstract:

Although there is extensive evidence that auditory spatial processing can adapt to changes in auditory spatial cues both in infancy and adulthood, the mechanisms underlying adaptation appear to differ across species. Whereas barn owls compensate for unilateral hearing loss throughout development by learning abnormal mappings between cue values and spatial position, adult mammals seem to adapt by ignoring the acoustical input available to the affected ear and learning to rely more on unaltered spatial cues. To investigate these differences further, ferrets were raised with a unilateral earplug

Abstract:

There has recently been much interest in how limitations in spatial frequency range affect face and object perception. This work has mainly focussed on determining which bands of frequencies are most useful for visual recognition. However, a fundamental question not yet addressed is how spatial frequency overlap (i.e., the range of spatial frequencies shared by two images) affects complex image recognition. Aside from the basic theoretical interest this question holds, it also bears on research about effects of display format (e.g., line-drawings, Mooney faces, etc.) and studies examining the

Visual stimuli, presented as Gaussian distributed blobs, moved laterally across a computer monitor to a central location and "bounced" back to their starting position. During this passage across the screen, a brief auditory "click" was presented via headphones. Participants were

Concurrent sound sources pose a particularly difficult problem for the auditory system, as their identities and locations must be extracted from a common set of sensory receptors a

Results revealed that symmetry detection is optimal if contrast energy is roughly equated across log-frequency bands (i.e. 1/f2) and that, under such conditions, spatial scales contribute equally and independently to symmetry perception.

The visual system integrates information over space to see surfaces, contours and edges. This integration can be described by a divisive normalization framework in which surrounding contextual information normalizes response to a central target.

We measured surround integration using the Simultaneous Tilt Illusion. In the first study, we determined the extent to which the probability that different surro
