Direct linkWang, Lin; Mou, Weimin; Dixon, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Two experiments investigated how people use buildings and street configurations to reorient in large-scale environments. In immersive virtual environments, participants learned objects' locations in an intersection consisting of 4 streets. The objects' locations were specified by 2 cues: a building and/or the street configuration. During the test,…

Muehl, Karen A.; Sholl, M. Jeanne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
Self-rated sense of direction is reliably related to people's accuracy when pointing in the direction of unseen landmarks from imagined or actual perspectives. It is proposed that the cognitive substrate of accurate pointing responses is a vector representation, which is defined as an integrated network of displacement vectors. Experiment 1…
