LANDMARK DISTANCE IMPACTS THE OVERSHADOWING EFFECT IN SPATIAL LEARNING USING A VIRTUAL WATER MAZE TASK WITH HEALTHY ADULTS

Landmark Distance Impacts the Overshadowing Effect in Spatial Learning Using a Virtual Water Maze Task with Healthy Adults

Cue competition is a key element of many associative theories of learning.Overshadowing, an important aspect of cue competition, is a phenomenon in which learning about a cue is reduced when it is accompanied by a second cue.Overshadowing has been observed across many domains, but there has been limited investigation of overshadowing in human spati

The Construction of Spin Foam Vertex Amplitudes

Spin foam vertex amplitudes are the key ingredient of spin foam models for quantum gravity.These fall into the realm of discretized path integral, and can be seen as generalized lattice gauge theories.They can be seen as an attempt at a 4-dimensional generalization of the Ponzano-Regge model for 3d quantum gravity.We motivate and review the constru
