Title:
Frames of Reference- A Psycholinguistic Perspective
Abstract:
A vast number of academic disciplines seek to understand spatially based frames of reference at different levels; in graphics we learn how to translate between window,viewport, and object coordinate systems; in linguistics, researchers seek to understand how space is cognitively encoded from language and use cross-linguistic accounts of frames of reference for theoretical support; the neurobiologist studies the transmodal aspect of frames of reference with respect to the various sensory systems. This talk will concentrate on issues concerning frames of reference pertinent to the psycholinguist, illustrating how they play a role in increasing our understanding of spatial cognition.
