Weisberg, Steven M.; Schinazi, Victor R.; Ferrario, Andrea; Newcombe, Nora S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Relying on shared tasks and stimuli to conduct research can enhance the replicability of findings and allow a community of researchers to collect large data sets across multiple experiments. This approach is particularly relevant for experiments in spatial navigation, which often require the development of unfamiliar large-scale virtual…

Holden, Mark P.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Memories for spatial locations often show systematic errors toward the central value of the surrounding region. The Category Adjustment (CA) model suggests that this bias is due to a Bayesian combination of categorical and metric information, which offers an optimal solution under conditions of uncertainty (Huttenlocher, Hedges, & Duncan,…

Holden, Mark P.; Curby, Kim M.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Memories for spatial locations often show systematic errors toward the central value of the surrounding region. This bias has been explained using a Bayesian model in which fine-grained and categorical information are combined (Huttenlocher, Hedges, & Duncan, 1991). However, experiments testing this model have largely used locations contained in…
