Abstract

We present a detailed analysis of a widely used assay in human spatial cognition, the judgments of relative direction (JRD) task. We conducted three experiments involving virtual navigation interspersed with the JRD task, and included confidence judgments and map drawing as additional metrics. We also present a technique for assessing the similarity of the cognitive representations underlying performance on the JRD and map drawing tasks. Our results support the construct validity of the JRD task and its connection to allocentric representation. Additionally, we found that chance performance on the JRD task depends on the distribution of the angles of participants' responses, rather than being constant and 90 degrees. Accordingly, we present a method for better determining chance performance.

书店往哪走?仔细观察相对方向任务的判断。
我们对人类空间认知中广泛使用的一种方法——相对方向判断(JRD)任务进行了详细分析。我们进行了三个实验,涉及穿插在JRD任务中的虚拟导航,并将置信度判断和地图绘制作为额外的指标。我们还提出了一种评估JRD和地图绘制任务表现背后的认知表征相似性的技术。我们的结果支持了JRD任务的结构有效性及其与异地中心表示的联系。此外,我们发现JRD任务的机会表现取决于参与者反应角度的分布,而不是恒定的90度。因此,我们提出了一种更好地确定机会性能的方法。
