The spatial model is being inspired by numerous areas of spatial research: neurological, developmental, as well as traditional cognitive psychology. It is hoped that these converging lines of evidence will inform a more plausible and defensible model of spatial reasoning and processing. Data and theories from these various domains are presented briefly with respect to their impact on the model. The first structural decision for this model was the separation of visio-spatial representations into three distinct spatial representations and one visual. These divisions follow Previc’s neurological model of 3-D space. The visual representation system (focal space in Previc) already exists in ACT-R/PM, and will be modified only slightly. The remaining spatial representations are Previc’s ambient extrapersonal, action extrapersonal, and peripersonal spaces. Each of these four representational systems will have their own buffers with which to operate. This will allow the model to process incoming representations in parallel (much like the motor and basic visual system operate in parallel in ACT-R/PM).

Peripersonal Space • Region that is immediately within grasp of the individual. • Spans central 60 degrees on the visual field • Lower field bias • Extends to the maximum arm’s reach. • Neuroimaging studies show used during fine motor control and object manipulation • Neuroimaging studies show used during mental rotation • suggests region contains very precise three-dimensional metric representations of objects to be manipulated.

Coordinate System

• Only region with a variable extent and a non-anchored span within the visual field • The majority of cognitive psychology research into vision has focused on this region • It is responsible for object identification, tracking, and reading. • Utilizes much of Byrne’s ACT-R/PM extension.

Encoding Two objects I’ve manipulated: 1. The chair 2. My umbrella

Chair-back isa prp-rep geon chair-back-cube

Coordinate System • Origin • Upper-left of scene (ACT-R/PM) • Object • Feature based composite • Location • Screen-X, Screen-Y • Units •

Umbrella isa prp-rep geon umbrella-cylinder

Chair-seat isa prp-rep geon chair-seat-cube

Encoding 1. 2.

• An episodic memory system is required for most basic spatial reasoning processing. A symbolic mechanism will be used. • Spatial representations are all with respect to an object and the viewer • Spatial relationships allow the tying together of multiple representations within a region (focal to focal, ambient to ambient) • Each region has its own buffer which capacity is limited by activation levels

• Used as general qualitative, locational encoding. • Used to integrate representation across large expanses

Action Space •Used for navigational representations and scene memory. •We borrowed from robotic navigation to determine the functional necessities. • Neuropsychology brain damage studies suggest a representation that uses landmark’s position relative to the observer’s point of gaze.

• Origin • Center of region • Object • Rough 3D geon of spatial extent • Location (of self) • Sector based • Units • Categorical

• Navigation is performed by trying to match up relative positions to landmarks, while avoiding other obscuring landmarks.

Encoding Two distinct geometric regions: 1. My office 2. The hall

Coordinate System • Origin • Center of gaze • Object • Rectangle obstacles • Location • Vectors to obstacle edges • Units • Angular vectors

My-office isa ambient-rep location center geon box-01 Office-hall isa ambient-rep location nil geon box-02

Key References

Other Considerations • Object representations and object identities are separate entities. However, once the identity is established it is linked to the representation as long as it remains active

• Used in postural control (effectively determining which way is up)

Coordinate System

Focal Space

• Origin • Upper torso • Object • Accurate 3D geon • Location (of object) • Vector from upper torso • Units • Psychological cubits
