Immersive virtual reality for older adults: Challenges and solutions in basic research and clinical applications

Malika Schaumburg, Ruojing Zhou, Matthieu Bernard, Thomas Wolbers et autres

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) offers significant potential for aging research, providing a controlled yet ecologically valid platform for studying cognitive, emotional, and motor processes, as well as supporting interventions and diagnostic assessments in older adults. However, its usability can be hindered by …

A review of metal contamination in seagrasses with an emphasis on metal kinetics and detoxification

Yanping Li, Fengyuan Chen, Ruojing Zhou, Xinqing Zheng et autres

Seagrasses are important foundation species in coastal ecosystems, and they provide food and habitat that supports high biodiversity. However, seagrasses are increasingly subjected to anthropogenic disturbances such as metal pollution, which has been implicated as a significant factor driving seagrass losses. There …

Reaching the Goal: Superior Navigators in Late Adulthood Provide a Novel Perspective into Successful Cognitive Aging

Ruojing Zhou, Tuğçe Belge, Thomas Wolbers

Normal aging is typically associated with declines in navigation and spatial memory abilities. However, increased interindividual variability in performance across various navigation/spatial memory tasks is also evident with advancing age. In this review paper, we shed the spotlight on those older individuals …

The effects of cue placement on the relative dominance of boundaries and landmark arrays in goal localization

Ruojing Zhou, Weimin Mou

Two types of visual features are identified as reference points used by individuals to encode locations: surface-based boundaries and discrete-object-based landmarks. Previous research show that learning locations relative to a boundary can overshadow learning relative to a landmark, but not vice versa, …

Superior cognitive mapping through single landmark-related learning than through boundary-related learning.

Ruojing Zhou, Weimin Mou

Cognitive mapping is assumed to be through hippocampus-dependent place learning rather than striatum-dependent response learning. However, we proposed that either type of spatial learning, as long as it involves encoding metric relations between locations and reference points, could lead to a cognitive …

From Scattering Dots to Cognitive Maps: Contributions of visual features in localization and cognitive mapping

Ruojing Zhou

Localizing oneself and other objects in an environment is important in everyday life. Various visual features available in our surroundings can serve as spatial cues to support accurate localization. Encoding individual locations can be achieved by establishing a vector between a target …

Use of geometric properties of landmark arrays for reorientation relative to remote cities and local objects.

Weimin Mou, Jean‐François Nankoo, Ruojing Zhou, Marcia L. Spetch

Five experiments investigated how human adults use landmark arrays in the immediate environment to reorient relative to the local environment and relative to remote cities. Participants learned targets' directions with the presence of a proximal 4 poles forming a rectangular shape and …
