Spatial memory: Works, Measurement, Applications & Science

In cognitive psychology and neuroscience, spatial memory is a form of memory responsible for the recording and recovery of information needed to plan a course to a location and to recall the location of an object or the occurrence of an event. Spatial memory is necessary for orientation in space. Spatial memory can also be divided into egocentric and…

Spatial memory relationships Subject–Predicate–Object triples

TTTA extracted 130 structured relationships around Spatial memory. Examples in this analysis include Spatial memory → is a → form of memory responsible for the recording and recovery of information needed to plan a course to a location and to recall the location of an object or the occurrence of an event and Spatial memory → is a → cognitive process that enables a person to remember different locations as well as spatial relations between objects. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
