Adoption of an internal viewpoint following presentations of plan‐view diagrams and maps
This study investigated people's ability to adopt novel imagined viewpoints after studying plan‐view diagrams and maps. In two experiments, university students were presented with a plan‐view diagram of a character surrounded by nearby objects (Expt 1) or a character within a map of a multi‐level shopping centre (Expt 2). Subsequently, participants' spatial knowledge of the diagrams/maps was tested by asking them about the location of six salient…
Spatial knowledge of geographical globes: Evidence of vertical alignment effects
This study investigated human spatial memory of geographical globes. In two experiments, participants studied locations presented on a three‐dimensional globe. Subsequently, participants' knowledge of the locations was tested employing two types of pointing task. Directional judgments from imagined locations on the globe were performed either vertically through the ground (as if digging a straight tunnel between the locations) or horizontally alo…
Spatial ability in secondary school students: Intra-sex differences based on self-selection for physical education
Past research has demonstrated consistent sex differences with men typically outperforming women on tests of spatial ability. However, less is known about intra-sex effects. In the present study, two groups of female students (physical education and non-physical education secondary students) and two corresponding groups of male students explored a large-scale virtual shopping centre. In a battery of tasks, spatial knowledge of the shopping centre…
Switching imagined viewpoints: The effects of viewing angle and layout size
The study examined the cognitive processes involved in switching from familiar to novel points of observation. Participants studied a single view of a small (table‐top model) or large (laboratory) spatial display that was presented from a horizontal or vertical viewing angle. In a reaction‐time task, spatial judgments were then made from imagined perspectives that were either the original perspective or a parallel, novel perspective. Familiar vie…
