Neuroscience research demonstrates that the visual areas of the brain are divided into two distinct pathways. The dorsal, or spatial, and ventral, or object pathways. The object pathway  runs from occipital lobe to inferior temporal lobe, processing visual appearances of objects in terms of color, detail, shape, and size. The spatial pathway runs from occipital <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=663" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

This project involves studies of navigational abilities in virtual (driving  simulator) and in real large-scale environments. We examined whether procedural- and survey-type representations of an environment would be present after traversing a novel route. We also examined whether individual differences in visual-spatial abilities predicted the types of representations formed. Our results challenge experience-based, sequential <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=655" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Most studies on training imagery skills (either through a particular set of training exercises or indirectly through geometry, chemistry or physics courses) have produced at best small gains in spatial skills and limited transfer of training to a different stimulus set.

In this line of research, we investigate how visualization may facilitate learning scientific concepts and solving physics problems.  In particular,  we investigate how individual differences in visualization ability affect learning  sciences and processing abstract scientific representations. Our research (Kozhevnikov, Hegarty, &#38; Mayer, 2002; Kozhevnikov, &#38; Thornton, 2006) has shown that spatial visualization <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=645" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Kozhevnikov, Louchakova, Josipovic, &#38; Motes (2009) examined the effects of meditation on mental imagery, evaluating Buddhist monks’ reports concerning their extraordinary imagery skills.

Our research on visual-spatial processing in different domains follow three directions:

Visualization processes in physics
Visualization in art
Meditation

In our research, we investigate  visualization processing  and visual representations in different  specialization domains such as physics and visual art. A separate line of research examined visualization in meditation, and its the effects on mental imagery abilities, <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=45" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
