Virginie CROLLEN (post-doctorante en IPSY & en IoNS/COSY) présentera le vendredi 5 décembre 2014 un séminaire sur les représentations numériques et spatiales.
Ce séminaire (invitation) se déroulera dans l'auditoire Socrate -242 de 12h30 à 13h30 sur le campus de Louvain-La-Neuve (UCL) et s'inscrit dans le cadre du cycle de séminaires 2014-2015

Abstract : The talk will be divided in 2 different parts. The first one will concern the role vision plays in shaping the interaction between finger and number representations. We will demonstrate that visual experience plays an important role in implementing the sensori-motor habits that drive the development of finger counting. The second part of this talk will concern the role vision plays in shaping the frames of reference (egocentric vs. allocentric) that are used to guide our sensory-motor experience. While it has been demonstrated that early visual deprivation prevents the automatic use of an allocentric frame of reference for coding touch, we will demonstrate that blind people are able to use allocentric coordinates when the task requires it.
