Abstract:Spatial learning and navigation may be acquired through idiothetic information (i.e., self‐referential movement cues) or allothetic cues (e.g., external landmarks). Animals may use specific types of landmarks to navigate known as reference frames. A reference frame is an environmental shape or boundary that provides a framework for spatial localization. Wolf spiders produce draglines of silk as they move through the environment that could serve as reference frames and may predispose spiders to use other refere… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
