众所周知，正常人的空间技能差异很大。该项目旨在解决这些个体差异是否与从路线（地面）和调查（空中）角度进行的大规模环境学习存在差异相关。参与者学习了两个有限暴露的虚拟环境（路线和调查），并测试了对物体相对位置的判断。他们还进行了一系列空间和非空间组件技能测试。由于学习有限，路线编码后的性能比调查编码后的性能更差。此外，路线和调查编码后的性能似乎分别优先与透视和基于对象的转换相关。总之，这些结果提供了线索，说明不同的人如何利用不同的技能来实现学习大规模环境的同一目标。
Spatial skills are known to vary widely among normal individuals. This project was designed to address whether these individual differences are differentially related to large-scale environmental learning from route (ground-level) and survey (aerial) perspectives. Participants learned two virtual environments (route and survey) with limited exposure and tested on judgments about relative locations of objects. They also performed a series of spatial and nonspatial component skill tests. With limited learning, performance after route encoding was worse than performance after survey encoding. Furthermore, performance after route and survey encoding appeared to be preferentially linked to perspective and object-based transformations, respectively. Together, the results provide clues to how different skills might be engaged by different individuals for the same goal of learning a large-scale environment.
