以往的研究表明，人们需要空间顺序的能力来处理路径信息。在目前的研究中，我们关注的不是参与者的能力，而是空间信息如何呈现的过程。我们研究的假设，构建一个准确的空间表示路线描述需要文本的连续性比从调查的角度。48名参与者阅读描述性的空间文本，然后绘制代表文本的地图。我们通过在空间文本中调换句子来操纵文本连续性，并设置了三个条件：连续、半连续和不连续。结果表明，当使用路线视角时，在没有文本连续性的情况下学习性能会下降（例如，在半连续和不连续条件下）。当参与者使用调查视角时，这种性能下降是适度的。这些结果表明，有一种倾向，依赖于顺序呈现的信息时，使用路线的角度来看，不仅在表面水平的描述，但也在认知处理的水平。
Previous research has shown that people need spatial-sequential ability to process route information. In the current study, we focused not on the participant’s ability but on the process of how spatial information is presented. We examined the hypothesis that constructing an accurate spatial representation from route descriptions requires text continuity more than from survey perspective. Forty-eight participants read a descriptive spatial text and then drew a map representing the text. We manipulated text continuity by transposing sentences in the spatial text and set three conditions: continuous, semi-continuous, and discontinuous. The results showed that when a route perspective is used, learning performance decreases in the absence of text continuity (e.g., in the semi-continuous and discontinuous conditions). This decrease in performance was modest when participants used a survey perspective. These results indicate that there is a tendency to rely on sequentially presented information when using the route perspective, not only at the surface level of description, but also at the level of cognitive processing.
