    ..Furthermore, they suggest that the spatial scale at which an individual is trained may affect the accuracy of one component of path integration but not the other...

    Alastair D Smith
    School of Psychology, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, United Kingdom
    J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 36:605-18. 2010
    ..However, when this was combined with a more salient perceptual landmark, an allocentric cuing effect was observed. These data suggest that the encoding of this type of statistical contingency depends on the combination of spatial cues...

    Alastair D Smith
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 12a Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TN, UK
    Perception 38:694-701. 2009
    ..Our findings indicate that spatial deficits associated with WS also affect large-scale spatial processing and suggest that hemizygous deletion of LIMK1 is not sufficient to account for any of the spatial deficits associated with WS...
  5. ncbi Visual search and foraging compared in a large-scale search task
    Alastair D Smith
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 12 a Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TU, UK
    Cogn Process 9:121-6. 2008
    ..We suggest a comprehensive model of human spatial search behaviour needs to include search at a small and large scale as well as visually guided and non-visually guided search...
  6. ncbi Reorientation in the real world: the development of landmark use and integration in a natural environment
    Alastair D Smith
    Bristol Cognitive Development Centre, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 12a Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TU, UK
    Cognition 107:1102-11. 2008
    ..This suggests that the integration between landmarks and search locations, at different spatial scales, is a key factor in characterising human reorientation in the real world...

    Alastair D Smith
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, UK
    Perception 34:1221-9. 2005
    ..However, search latencies were unrelated to general fluid intelligence. This highlights the role of spatial working memory in the development of efficient exploration of large-scale space...

    Alastair D Smith
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, UK
    Dev Sci 9:465-72. 2006
    ..These findings suggest that while the facilitation of face recognition by gaze direction is robust across encoding and recognition stages, the efficiency of the process is affected by the stage at which gaze is modulated...

    Alastair D Smith
    Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
    Cortex 41:195-204. 2005
    ..We argue for a more quantitative approach to the study of drawing abilities in neuropsychological testing in order to facilitate a finer grained analysis of the disorder and of comparison between patients...

    Cogn Neuropsychiatry 13:112-34. 2008
