Two experiments investigated whether the spatial reference directions that are used to
specify objects' locations in memory can be solely determined by layout geometry …

This chapter summarizes a new theory of spatial memory. According to the theory, when
people learn the locations of objects in a new environment, they interpret the spatial …

Four experiments investigated the roles of layout geometry in the selection of intrinsic frames
of reference in spatial memory. Participants learned the locations of objects in a room from 2 …

Three experiments investigated the frames of reference used in memory to represent the
spatial structure of the environment. Participants learned the locations of objects in a room …

A growing body of evidence has indicated that human spatial memory is organized in terms
of a small number of reference directions and that interobject spatial relations are …

Seven experiments examined the spatial reference systems used in memory to represent
the locations of objects in the environment. Participants learned the locations of common …

Considerable evidence suggests that humans flexibly select reference frames for spatial
memory based on qualities such as the shape of the environment, the configuration of …

Abstract Mou, Zhao, and McNamara (2007) proposed the “intrinsic model of human spatial
memory,” which posits that a viewer's memory of an array of objects will exhibit a preferred …

The perspective-taking task is one of the most common paradigms used to study the nature
of spatial memory, and better performance for certain orientations is generally interpreted as …

Three experiments investigated whether spatial information acquired from vision and
language is maintained in distinct spatial representations on the basis of the input modality …
