Mou and McNamara (2002) have recently theorized that nonegocentric reference frames
(viz., intrinsic reference frames, based on the spatial structure of a configuration of objects) …

Much contemporary research has suggested that memories for spatial layout are stored with
a preferred orientation. The present research examined whether spatial memories are also …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The spatial framework model proposes that people use the extensions of their body axes as
a reference frame for encoding spatial layouts in memory, and that the physical and …

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 …

This research is about the role of categorical and coordinate spatial relations and allocentric
and egocentric frames of reference in processing spatial information. To this end, we asked …

Spatial cognitive processes can be based on distinct reference frames centered on the body
(egocentric reference frame) or centered on aspects of the surrounding environment …
