我们提出了一个广泛使用的测试在人类空间认知，相对方向判断（JRD）任务的详细分析。我们进行了三个实验，涉及虚拟导航穿插与JRD任务，并包括信心判断和地图绘制作为额外的指标。我们还提出了一种技术，用于评估的相似性的认知表征的基本性能上的JRD和地图绘制任务。我们的研究结果支持JRD任务的结构效度和它的连接到allocentric表示。此外，我们发现，JRD任务的机会表现取决于参与者的反应角度的分布，而不是恒定的90度。因此，我们提出了一种更好地确定机会性能的方法。
We present a detailed analysis of a widely used assay in human spatial cognition, the judgments of relative direction (JRD) task. We conducted three experiments involving virtual navigation interspersed with the JRD task, and included confidence judgments and map drawing as additional metrics. We also present a technique for assessing the similarity of the cognitive representations underlying performance on the JRD and map-drawing tasks. Our results support the construct validity of the JRD task and its connection to allocentric representation. Additionally, we found that chance performance on the JRD task depends on the distribution of the angles of participants' responses, rather than being constant and 90 degrees. Accordingly, we present a method for better determining chance performance.
