In relation to cognitive psychology and egocentric verus allocentric space, the what (perception) and where (action) pathways are important for visually guided behaviour. Describe why it might be important that these pathways coupled (coordinated) together?

The allocentric reference frame, on the other hand, can be thought of as a third-person perspective. Allocentric navigation utilises external cues or landmarks in relation to each other to navigate and is independent of self (Figure 1B).

What is the difference between allocentric and egocentric?

The egocentric depends on our own position and point of view. The allocentric relies on remembering, recalling, and recognizing environmental stimuli called landmarks.

What is allocentric spatial memory?

Allocentric spatial memory refers specifically to mnemonic representations that capture viewpoint-invariant relations among items, as well as fixed relations between items and the local environment. Historically, the hippocampus has figured prominently in models of allocentric spatial memory.
