About this Research Topic
We are pleased to introduce the collection Frontiers in Psychology – Highlights in Cognition: Visual-spatial Processing.
As a multifaceted topic that encompasses creativity, brain mechanisms, word processing, attention, and even the interaction of various factors in cognitive tasks, visual-spatial processing is a crucial aspect of human cognition that influences our ability to make remote associations, process visual information, and perform tasks requiring attention and perception.
Forming the foundation for numerous cognitive functions and mental processes, is an integral cognitive skill for the formation of remote associations, fostering creative thinking and the generation of innovative ideas. Additionally, it is a cornerstone of how individuals perceive and interpret their surroundings, influencing critical processes like object recognition, spatial navigation, and the comprehension of visual stimuli. The interplay between visual-spatial processing and attention underscores the cognitive aspects of tasks involving visual perception and word recognition. In essence, visual-spatial processing is a fundamental component of cognitive functioning, exerting a pervasive influence on various cognitive domains and profoundly shaping how individuals think, perceive, and engage with their environment.
We are hopeful that this topic will help further improve our understanding of visual-spatial Processing, and provide future researchers an insight as to what areas require further inquiry.
This collection will welcome and showcase a selection of articles about visual-spatial Processing from a cognition background, authored by leaders in the field.
The work presented here highlights the broad diversity of research performed across the cognition field and aims to put a spotlight on the main areas of interest.
This collection aims to further support Frontiers’ strong community by shining a spotlight on our authors' highly impactful research.
