Existing frameworks for explaining spatial knowledge acquisition in a new environment
propose either stage-like or continuous development. To examine the spatial microgenesis …

Evidence is presented for systematic errors in memory for real and artificial maps, local
environments, and visual forms. These errors are attributed to two heuristics that are derived …

Three classes of theories of the mental representation of spatial relations were tested.
Nonhierarchical theories propose that spatial relations among objects in an environment are …
