空间可以通过感知和语言来理解，但在这两种情况下，表示空间信息的过程是相同的吗？本文综述了基于知觉和语言输入的空间表征功能对等的心理学证据。有人建议，空间信息是由一个专门的空间表示系统（SRS），创建空间的几何表示。SRS接收来自感知和语言系统的输入，并使用这些基本输入来构建所观察或描述的环境的心理空间模型。心理空间模型是通过确定物体在自我中心或非自我中心参照系中的坐标位置而建立的。SRS的目标不是严格地表示感知到的内容，而是对具有固有三维空间结构的环境进行建模。
Space can be understood through perception and language, but are the processes that represent spatial information the same in both cases? This paper reviews psychological evidence for the functional equivalence of spatial representations based on perceptual and linguistic inputs. It is proposed that spatial information is processed by a specialised spatial representation system (SRS) that creates geometric representations of space. The SRS receives inputs from perceptual and linguistic systems and uses these basic inputs to construct mental spatial models of the observed or described environment. A mental spatial model is created by determining the coordinate locations of objects in the egocentric or allocentric frame of reference. The goal of the SRS is not to represent strictly what is perceived, but to model an environment that has an inherent three-dimensional spatial structure.
