title: The coding and updating of visuospatial memory for goal-directed reaching and pointing.
abstract: In this review we discuss evidence from psychophysical, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging studies that demonstrates the updating of remembered visual space in a reference frame that is centred on the eye. We then extend these findings by discussing recent work from our lab. Specifically, we address eye-centred updating of visuospatial memory for arm movements following different types of eye movements, the role of retinal versus extraretinal information in such spatial updating, and the use of allocentric versus egocentric information in coding multiple targets. We provide a conceptual model to explain the relationships among these findings.
