The Development of Landmarks in Spatial Memory: The Role of Differential Experience.

Presson, Clark C.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v44 n3 p317-34 Dec 1987

First and fifth graders participated in this assessment of ways in which differential experience with objects in a spatial array might establish relative landmarks within the array. Results suggest that different levels of experience can establish elements as relative landmarks in spatial memory. (Author/RWB)
