@article { , title = {Enclosure shape influences cue competition effects and goal location learning}, abstract = {In virtual-environment spatial-learning procedures, Experiment 1 investigated blocking of learning about distal landmarks beyond the walls of an enclosure following preliminary training to find a goal using local landmarks within the enclosure. Separate sets of blocking and control groups searched within enclosures that, in plan view, formed either a square or a circle. Blocking was apparent when training and testing occurred in the circular but not the square enclosure. In Experiment 2, preliminary training to find a goal using local landmarks blocked spatial learning based on a circular enclosure divided into four differently coloured sections. The results are discussed in relation to theories of incidental versus error-correcting learning linked to different types of spatial cue.}, doi = {10.1080/17470210903428761}, eissn = {1747-0226}, issn = {1747-0218}, issue = {8}, journal = {Quarterly Journal Of Experimental Psychology}, pages = {1552-1567}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Routledge}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/462586}, volume = {63}, keyword = {Health and Health Inequalities, Spatial learning, Landmarks, Geometry, Cue competition, Blocking, Virtual environment}, year = {2010}, author = {Wilson, Paul N. and Wilson, Paul N. and Alexander, Tim} }
