The aim of this research was to investigate how spatial self‐assessments and spatial
cognitive abilities jointly influence the construction of mental representations derived from …

Being able to represent and remember verbally-encoded information about spatial
environments from different perspectives is important for numerous daily activities. The …

Previous studies on spatial memory reveal that people represent spatial information in 3
different forms: landmark, route, and survey. The aim of this work was to assess spatial …

This study aimed to investigate the orientation dependence effect and the role of
visuospatial abilities in mental representations derived from spatial descriptions. The …

Successful wayfinding requires accurate encoding of two types of information: landmarks
and the spatial relations between them (eg, landmark X is left/north of Y). Although both …

This study examines the involvement of spatial and visual working memory (WM) in the
construction of flexible spatial models derived from survey and route descriptions. Sixty …

The present study investigated age-related differences between young and older adults
deriving mental representations from survey and route descriptions, and the involvement of …

This experiment investigated the reactive effects of verbal reports on spatial mental models.
Participants studied a map marked with a route and then either verbalized their memory for …

When remembering or describing an environment, do people take a particular spatial
perspective? If so, what influences the perspective used? Previous research has focused …

Current theories are mixed with regard to the nature of mental representations following
spatial description reading. Whereas some findings argue that individuals' representations …
