Cognitive Aspects of Spatial Orientation 

Abstract

This manuscript focuses on cognitive aspects of spatial mental modeling. We examine possibilities for merging methods for sensing and modeling of cognitive capabilities and cognitive styles with the concept of cognitive infocommunications. Related aspects of cognitive psychology, the theory of senses, sensory substitution, and mental modeling are discussed. We illustrate practical impact of emerging CogInfoCom methods on people with special needs, in particular, those with vision impairment.

Assessing Visual Attention in Children Using GP3 Eye Tracker

“…Based on the results the recognition of attention together with cognitive load/functions [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] the necessary development can be more comprehensively defined and may provide some important considerations to develop modern ICT and VR based learning environments [43] to improve the opportunities of VR and AR supported education [44][45][46][47][48][49][50], cooperative, cooperation methods [51][52], gamification [53][54] and ICT [55][56][57][58][59][60][61] and computer assisted learning [62]- [66].…”

Editorial: Cognitive infocommunications

“…We see as the main idea here of relevance is a conceptually simple technology that may provide information to an individual or medical professionals about physical imbalances experienced by an individual, thereby enabling remedy. Others who have contributed to cognitive infocommunications have also been investigating correlating features sensed from human body postures into diagnostics of motion (Granata et al, 2013), health and wellbeing, (Steiner and Kertesz, 2012;Macik, 2018;Mykhailova et al, 2018) and ability (Toma et al, 2012).…”

Investigation of spatial ability test completion times in virtual reality using a desktop display and the Gear VR

“…This means that users are as equally important as the other factors in a VR system (Heldal 2007;Schroeder et al 2006). As users are part of this, interactions can occur between its components as shown by several studies: not only the learning skills of users can be increased due to VR (Horváth 2016;Kovari 2018;Wilson 2019), but their spatial skills as well (Dünser et al 2006;Macik 2018;Mclellan 1998;Molina-Carmona et al 2018a;Parsons et al 2004;Torner et al 2016). The conclusion of the last two studies is that mental rotation of males are better than that of females in VR and in augmented reality (AR).…”
