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. We suggest that the reason for previous limitations of training  visual-spatial abilities using <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=649" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Our research on 3D visualization in immersive virtual environments includes the following directions:

Investigating the neural and behavioral correlates of 3D visual-spatial transformations
Training visual-spatial abilities in immersive virtual environments (IVEs)
Using IVEs to facilitate science learning


We are interested in the contribution of immersion to spatial processing and compare subjects’ performance in non-immersive and immersive 2D vs. 3D <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=620" 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. Practitioners of Buddhist meditation were divided into two groups according to their preferred meditation style: Deity Yoga (focused attention on an internal visual image) or Open Presence (evenly distributed attention, not directed <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=304" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

The research in the Mental Imagery lab focuses on investigating visualization processes and individual differences in mental imagery in cognitive style. In particular, we examine how individual differences in visualization ability affect more complex activities, such as spatial navigation, learning and problem solving in mathematics, science and art. We also explore ways to train visual-object <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=9" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
