Studies of the Cognitive Representation of Spatial Relations: I. Overview.

Baird, John C.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, v108 n1 p90-91 Mar 1979

This article reviews two experiments on the mapping and planning of actual (campus buildings) and hypothetical (ideal town facilities) items in a two-dimensional space. Direct mapping (planning) techniques are preferred over the method of pair comparisons, especially for the actual environment. (See TM 504 879-880) (Author/CTM)
