Direct linkOleksiak, Anna; Postma, Albert; van der Ham, Ineke J. M.; van Wezel, Richard J. A. – Brain and Cognition, 2009
It has been proposed that spatial relations can be encoded in two different ways: categorically, where the relative position of objects can be described in prepositional terms (to the left/right, above/below, etc.) and coordinately, where a precise distance between the objects is assessed. Processing of categorical and coordinate spatial relations…

van Asselen, Marieke; Kessels, Roy P. C.; Frijns, Catharina J. M.; Kappelle, L. Jaap; Neggers, Sebastiaan F. W.; Postma, Albert – Brain and Cognition, 2009
Object-location memory is an important form of spatial memory, comprising different subcomponents that each process specific types of information within memory, i.e. remembering objects, remembering positions and binding these features in memory. In the current study we investigated the neural correlates of binding categorical (relative) or…

De Goede, Maartje; Postma, Albert – Brain and Cognition, 2008
Object-location memory is the only spatial task where female subjects have been shown to outperform males. This result is not consistent across all studies, and may be due to the combination of the multi-component structure of object location memory with the conditions under which different studies were done. Possible gender differences in object…

Noordzij, Matthijs L.; Zuidhoek, Sander; Postma, Albert – Cognition, 2006
The purpose of the present study is twofold: the first objective is to evaluate the importance of visual experience for the ability to form a spatial representation (spatial mental model) of fairly elaborate spatial descriptions. Secondly, we examine whether blind people exhibit the same preferences (i.e. level of performance on spatial tasks) as…

Peer reviewedOomen, Claudy C. E.; Postma, Albert – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2002
Examined effects of limitations in processing resources on error detection in self-produced and other-produced speech by means of a dual task paradigm. A production experiment and a perception experiment were carried out. In both cases, the percentage of repaired errors was larger in the single task condition than in the dual task condition,…

Postma, Albert; Jager, Gerry; Kessels, Roy P. C.; Koppeschaar, Hans P. F.; van Honk, Jack – Brain and Cognition, 2004
In the present study, a systematic comparison of sex differences for several tests of spatial memory was conducted. Clear evidence for more accurate male performance was obtained for precise metric positional information in a wayfinding task and in an object location memory task. In contrast, no sex difference characterized topological information…
