本研究通过六个实验来检验由言语描述构建的认知地图的空间属性是否与由视觉经验构建的表征的空间属性相似。空间启动、距离比较和心理扫描实验的数据都表明，人们能够将对构型的口头描述转化为反映这些构型的空间扩展的心理表征。此外，由描述构建的认知地图显示出可靠的度量属性，这使得它们在结构上与相应的空间配置同构。
Six experiments were conducted to test whether the spatial properties of cognitive maps constructed from verbal descriptions are similar to those of representations derived from visual experience. Data from spatial priming, distance comparison, and mental scanning experiments all suggest that people are able to convert verbal descriptions of configurations into mental representations that reflect the spatial extension of these configurations. In addition, cognitive maps constructed from descriptions exhibit reliable metric properties which make them structurally isomorphic to the corresponding spatial configurations.
