Conducted 2 studies with 78 2nd and 5th graders and college students to evaluate the proposition that macrospatial experience is partitioned, or" subdivided," and that the resulting subdivisions influence judgments of geographic proximity. In Exp I, Ss divided a pictorialized route into subdivisions; in Exp II, other Ss from the same grade levels made proximity judgments in a series of 2-choice problems. Results indicate that (a) subdivision boundaries were consistent across grade levels with the route used;(b) younger Ss tended to base their proximity judgments on their subdivisional organization of the route; and (c) older children and adults tended to rely on subdivisional information when it was available but to depend on distance estimation and comparison when subdivisional information was absent.(28 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
