| Children’s Spatial Cognition | Children’s Spatial Cognition | STEM learning draws heavily on spatial cognitive abilities. At the University of Delaware Early Learning Center, we conduct scene perception and spatial memory research with 4-5 year old preschool children, exploring rapid scene perception and testing to determine the developmental trajectory of anticipatory spatial projections, such as boundary extension. Through collaboration with other labs we have tested infant scene memory and are studying spatial memory in children with developmental disorders. | Intraub, Helene | intraub | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/Kids%20drawings.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
| Spatial Representation: Vision & Haptics | Spatial Representation: Vision & Haptics | Most scene perception research makes use of photographs as stimuli. Here we seek to understand the mental representation of regions of real space given the ability to navigate and to gain input for different modalities (vision and haptics) – independently and in combination. We have studied memory in blindfolded-sighted individuals and a woman who was deaf and blind since early life. We also study the interaction of top-down expectations and low vision (simulated loss of periphery) on memory for surrounding space. | Intraub, Helene;Yildirim, Irem | intraub;iyildirim | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/renee_vis_touch.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
| Visual Scene Perception and Memory | Visual Scene Perception and Memory | Using brief presentation and eye tracking experiments we study what can grasped in a fraction of a second from a scene. We have also observed rapid effects of top-down expectations on what is remembered – observing false memory for unseen information just beyond the boundaries of a view as soon as 1/20th after viewing a photograph – a phenomenon called boundary extension, discovered in our lab. In behavioral studies we explore the multiple factors that affect both veridical and anticipatory memory that predicts upcoming layout. Through collaboration with other labs we explore the brain mechanisms underlying boundary extension. | Intraub, Helene;Yildirim, Irem | intraub;iyildirim | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/Brief%20Presentation%20BE%20copy.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
