Yes, that makes sense. I think this method could be used to establish “proximity” between places as well but would have to dig into the method more.
I have loads more questions but should probably read the paper in more depth first! 🤣
Congrats on the work!

Awesome paper! Any thoughts on using this to see how spatial contexts might get linked to build larger scale spatial representations?

Very cool study!!
Do you think neural reliability provides a measure of how “place-like” a spatial context is? How coherent it is, distinctive?

This study shows leisure activities support domain-specific protection against cognitive decline in visual attention and memory beyond job type & education. Given the role of these processes in spatial navigation, such activities might preserve navigational abilities with aging.

New findings suggest memory framing effects are more complex than previously thought and may not require emotional arousal:

Obvs, Ashley is an excellent researcher - quant skills, writing, deep thinking, curious - all the things.
She's writing up a killer dissertation (and some other stuff, too!) and plans to defend this year. Feel free to get in touch, and please RT!

I'm lucky enough that Ashley has attended my lab meetings for the last few years and disseminated some of this knowledge to us cog-focused folk. We also realized lots of areas that were really under-researched: how do our "cognitive maps" change as our environments do? As we do?

Ashley's approach blends social psychology with environmental psychology, and her work puts a unique spin on concepts we encounter in spatial navigation and cognitive psychology, too: what is a place? Why do we want to spend time in the places we do? How does this affect us?
