The process of mentally integrating separate regions of a layout into a unified representation is a critical component in generating inferred spatial information. Blindfolded subjects learned 2 different paths by tactual exploration. The subjects were then given information that permitted them to integrate the 2 cognitive maps of the paths into 1 map. In experiment 1, the speed and accuracy of originally learned and inferred movements within a path were equivalent, whereas inferred movements between the 2 paths were significantly slower and less accurate. In experiment 2, the subjects could request additional training on the paths before they were given the integration information, and they also rated how well they knew the path on which they were tested. When the subjects judged that they remembered all or most of the path information, movements between 2 paths and within 1 path were performed with the same accuracy. The equivalent accuracy of all the movements suggests that cognitive integration can generate an accurate representation of an integrated layout when the path information is recalled.
