Distance can be defined as the separation between the self and other instances like persons, events, knowledge, or time. [1] Psychological distance was first defined in Trope and Liberman's Construal Level Theory (CLT). [2] However, Trope and Liberman only identified temporal distance as a separator.
Perceptions are affected by construal level theory in almost all aspects of psychology. [2] Strong relationships and similarities have been found between different types of psychological distances. These include temporal, spatial, personal, and social distance. [2] When distance on one of these levels increases, the other levels also increase.
Spatial-temporal reasoning is the ability to visualize special patterns and mentally manipulate them over a time-ordered sequence of spatial transformations. [1] Spatial visualization ability is the ability to manipulate mentally two- and three-dimensional figures.
When the temporal separation was constant and the spatial separation between the dots varied, they observed the kappa effect, which follows the constant velocity hypothesis. However, when both the temporal and spatial separation between the dots varied, they failed to observe the response pattern that the constant velocity hypothesis predicts.
[3] [4] Primarily of use in working with deaf-blind patients, distancing gradually leads the subject through a course of physical interactions which encourage the patients to respond. At first, responses may be simple repetitions of pleasurable acts, but eventually events that take place in the present tense are replaced in the subject's mind ...
As the time difference between the target and the mask increases, the masking effect decreases. This is because the integration time of a target stimulus has an upper limit 200 ms, based on physiological experiments [3] [4] [5] and as the separation approaches this limit, the mask is able to produce less of an effect on the target, as the target has had more time to form a full neural ...
Spatial memory is required to navigate in an environment. 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. [1]
Spatial intelligence is an area in the theory of multiple intelligences that deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. It is defined by Howard Gardner as a human computational capacity that provides the ability or mental skill to solve spatial problems of navigation, visualization of objects from different angles and space, faces or scenes recognition, or to ...
