最近的发现表明，蹒跚学步的孩子在迷失方向后，可以使用几何线索来定位隐藏在矩形房间角落里的物体[Cognition 61(1996)195]。有人提出，定位该物体需要重新确定一个人的初始航向。本实验考察了迷失方向后的搜索行为。我们发现，蹒跚学步的孩子直接走到一个特定的角落，这表明他们不必重新建立原来的头。也有人认为，幼儿使用几何线索的能力仅限于周围空间。我们发现，蹒跚学步的孩子既能从空间内部定位物体，也能从外部定位物体，尽管从外部定位任务要困难得多。基于这些结果，我们认为，尽管蹒跚学步的孩子并不代表他们相对于空间特定部分的位置，但他们可能代表了他们相对于整个空间的位置(即外部与内部)。(C)2003年认知科学学会，Inc.保留所有权利。
Recent findings indicate that toddlers can use geometric cues to locate an object hidden in a corner of a rectangular room after being disoriented [Cognition 61 (1996) 195]. It has been suggested that locating the object involves reestablishing one's initial heading. The present experiments examine search behavior after disorientation. We find that toddlers go directly to a particular corner, indicating that they do not have to reestablish their original heading. It also has been suggested that toddlers ability to use geometric cues is limited to surrounding spaces. We find that toddlers can locate an object from outside as well as from inside a space, although the task is harder from outside. Based on these results, we argue that while toddlers do not represent their position relative to a particular portion of a space, they nevertheless may represent their position relative to the entire space (i.e., outside vs. inside).
