Abstract

ABSTRACT Using Space Syntax techniques, we examined the relationship between environmental properties and spatial memory following navigation in a virtual environment. Participants navigated two main routes as well as two connector routes, memorizing landmark locations in the main routes. Memory was then examined through a pointing task and a model-building task. Participants pointed more accurately to locations of higher axial connectivity, integration, and choice, but pointed less accurately from those locations. Converging results were obtained with measures of visual connectivity, integration, and through vision. The findings suggest that environmental properties – including connectivity and integration, the locations’ intervisibility, and their grouping on the route type (same vs. different) – account well for the way spatial information is stored in and retrieved from memory.
环境特征能预测对陌生环境的空间记忆吗?
利用空间语法技术,我们研究了在虚拟环境中导航后的环境属性和空间记忆之间的关系。参与者在两条主要路线和两条连接路线上行走,记住主要路线上的地标性地点。然后通过一个指向任务和一个模型构建任务来检查记忆。参与者更准确地指向轴向连通性、整合性和选择性更高的位置,但从这些位置指向的准确性较低。通过视觉连通性、视觉整合和视觉通视的测量得到了收敛的结果。研究结果表明,环境属性——包括连通性和整合性、位置的可可视性以及它们在路线类型上的分组(相同与不同)——很好地解释了空间信息在记忆中的存储和从记忆中检索的方式。
