Do So

Although not previously addressed by researchers of spatial cognition or affect, the combination of spatial and affective information is essential for many approach and avoidance behaviors, and thus for survival. We provide the first evidence that through incidental experience, people form representations that capture correlations between affective and spatial information. Participants were able to do so even when the correlation was weak, they were not told to look for the correlation, and the stimuli varied on multiple other dimensions besides valence. In addition, people were more sensitive to the presented correlation when stimuli were negative than when they were positive. This asymmetry in representation may stem from underlying differences in the activation functions for positive and negative hedonic information processing.

Understanding of the neurophysiology of cognition is advancing through the study of how animals navigate and understand space. Manipulating various classes of spatial information and recording from hippocampal neurons provides a robust model for understanding how the brain stores and constructs the spatial memories that are critical for organizing daily experience.

SummuryThe Transregional Collaborative Research Center SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition was established by the German Science Foundation (DFG) at the Universities of Bremen and Freiburg in January 2003. 13 Research projects pursue interdisciplinary research on intelligent spatial information processing. This article introduces the research field of spatial cognition and reports on aspects from cognitive psychology, cognitive robotics, linguistics, and artificial intelligence.
