The Coding and Transformation of Spatial Information.

Huttenlocher, Janellen; Presson, Clark C.

Cognitive Psychology, v11 n3 p375-94 Jul 1979

This paper examines the mental processes involved in inferring perspective changes resulting from the rotation of a spatial array or from the rotation of the viewer of that array. Under certain conditions, viewer-rotation problems become easy and array-rotation problems become difficult. Apparently, an array is fixed vis-a-vis the spatial context. (Author/RD)
