三个实验考察了读者如何通过先前记忆的虚构建筑相对于各种任务的布局来推断与故事角色的移动相关的空间信息。本研究还考察了推理措施与空间表象和阅读理解能力之间的关系。复制了Morrow，Greenspan和Bower(1987)报告的空间分离效应，当被探测的物体作为叙事的主要人物位于建筑物的同一房间时，比当物体位于不同的房间时，被探测物体的反应更快。实验2排除了对空间分离效应的简单的基于名字的启动解释，实验3证明了即使在向读者提供了对建筑物的空间不确定的列表描述的情况下，也可以促进来自角色目标房间的物体。文本理解的建构整合模型解释了知识整合过程中的空间分离效应。结果表明，整合丰富的知识网络有助于将文本信息映射到话语情境的发展心理表征上，这一过程得到了空间意象和阅读理解能力的进一步支持。
Three experiments examined how readers inferred spatial information that was relevant to a story character's movements through a previously memorized layout of a fictional building relative to various tasks. This study also examined how inference measures were related to spatial imagery and reading comprehension ability. Replicating the spatial separation effect reported by Morrow, Greenspan, and Bower (1987), probed objects were responded to faster when they were located in the same room of a building as the main character of a narrative than when the objects were located in different rooms. Experiment 2 ruled out a simple name-based priming explanation of the spatial separation effect, and Experiment 3 demonstrated a facilitation for objects from the character's target room even when readers were provided with a spatially indeterminate list description of the building. The construction-integration model of text comprehension accounted for the spatial separation effect in terms of variations in the knowledge-integration process. It was concluded that the integration of an enriched knowledge network can facilitate the process of mapping text information onto a developing mental representation of a discourse situation, a process that gains further support from spatial imagery and reading comprehension ability.
