Internal and external spatial frameworks for representing described scenes
DJ Bryant, B Tversky, N Franklin - Journal of memory and language, 1992 - Elsevier

Spatial mental models from descriptions
Spatial language is widely used, both literally to describe space and figuratively to express a
broad range of ideas. This article reviews two projects studying the nature of mental …

The representation of space in mental models derived from text
W Langston, DC Kramer, AM Glenberg - Memory & Cognition, 1998 - Springer
Mental models of text are representations of what the text is about (ie, situations), rather than
representations of the text itself. Many mental model theories propose that mental models …

Preferred mental models in reasoning about spatial relations
The theory of mental models postulates that individuals infer that a spatial description is
consistent only if they can construct a model in which all the assertions in the description are …

Switching points of view in spatial mental models
N Franklin, B Tversky, V Coon - Memory & cognition, 1992 - Springer
In six experiments, subjects read narratives describing varying spatial scenes with more
than one point of view. They were probed with questions about objects located in six …
