These neuropsychological data indicate that perception–action couplings can be crucial to our conscious representation of space.doi:10.1080/13506280344000310Humphreys, GlynRiddoch, M. JaneForti, SaraAckroyd, KatiePsychology Press LtdVisual Cognition
A spatial reference frame in memory can be conceptualized as a unifying coordinate system—including a reference axis, an origin, and a scale—that enables one to represent spatial relations. From:Psychology of Learning and Motivation,2014
Can humans extend and augment their natural perceptions during adulthood? Here, we address this fascinating question by investigating the extent to which it is possible to successfully augment visual spatial perception to include the backward spatial fie

In day-to-day life, humans usually perceive the location of sound sources as outside their heads. This externalized auditory spatial perception can be reproduced through headphones by recreating the sound pressure generated by the source at the listener
perception (Wober,1966,1967), to the detriment of systematic visual exploration of a test item. This could potentially contribute to differences in the analysis of visuo-spatial tests, though the idea is not consensual in the literature (for discussions, see Berry et al.,2002; Serpell,1974; ...

The contributions of the two cerebral hemispheres to the analysis of spatial information are discussed in the light of these results and it is suggested that, while the right hemisphere has a special role in the perception of space, it does not bear exclusive responsibility for the maintenance ...
According to the late attentional selection hypothesis, selecting a location in space primes action toward that location and eventually shifts attention in that direction15. Another influential theoretical framework, the referential coding theory, emphasizes a perception-for-action system and states that ...
Thus, a large body of evidence suggests an important role of vision for bimanual coordination, but the specific role of vision for the different aspects to which it can contribute, such as abstract spatial or body-related information, is less clear. One account, the perception-action model put...
