Description: A paradigm originally used to test spatial navigation in rats was adapted from Feigenbaum and Morris (2004) and extended to systematically test and compare egocentric and allocentric spatial navigation in humans. We used it in adults with and without autism (Ring et al., 2018). The file contains images, sounds and a run file. The FM16 file contains 16 different versions of the task. They all start with trials of the baseline condition followed by 2 versions of egocentric and allocentric spatial navigation in counterbalanced order. The conditions are described in detail in: Ring, M., Gaigg, S. B., Altgassen, M., Barr, P., & Bowler, D. M. (2018). Allocentric versus egocentric spatial memory in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48(6), 2101-2111. doi: 10.1007/s10803-018-3465-5
