Thus, our study of spatial discrimination showed a robust difference between vertical and horizontal acuity, whereas those based on spatial orientation have produced more equivocal results.
Indeed, equilibrium function relies on the control of posture but also on spatial orientation.
Whether such a strategy is based on spatial orientation capabilities or not, is not directly evident.
Thus, investigation on spatial orientation seems to offer a ground, which could foster the assessment of gender differences in visuo-spatial functions within an ecological framework.
Coordination exercises focused on the sport specific components of coordination skills and, in particular, on spatial orientation, kinaesthetic differentiation, reaction, adaptation, combination, and rhythm [ 37].
An isotropic material has the same properties in every direction; in contrast, anisotropic material has different physical properties depending on spatial orientation.
Based on its spatial orientation, a 3D local coordinate system was determined, with its origin in the centre of mass (area-centroid) of the tibial plateau.
This questionnaire measures three strategic aspects in spatial orientation based on specific knowledge of space characteristics: cardinal directions, survey, and global-egocentric orientation.
"PigeonRank's success relies primarily on the superior trainability of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia) and its unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial orientation.
It has been noted above how proprioceptors in vertebrates and arthropods can also contribute to spatial orientation; bodily tissues under gravity weigh vertically down and stimulate internal mechanoreceptors in a way that depends on, and varies with, the animal's spatial position.
Cho is "finding actual tissue changes in the brain in an area that's involved in spatial orientation and related aspects of cognitive function," said Thomas Wehr, chief of the section on biological rhythms at the National Institute of Mental Health.
