DESCRIPTION: This proposal is concerned with the development of spatial coding abilities in the first few years of life. Such abilities are important for wayfinding and remembering location. To investigate these abilities, four experiments are proposed in which children between 1 and 3 years of age are required to locate an object that they have just witnessed being hidden in a sandbox. The goals of these experiments are to: 1) test the generality and robustness of young children s use of hierarchical spatial coding across differently shaped environment; 2) determine whether the hierarchical organization model is applicable for the maintenance of spatial orientation during movement through space; and 3) examine children's use of spatial landmarks to maintain spatial orientation during movement.

描述：该提案涉及空间的发展 生命最初几年的编码能力。 这样的能力是 对于寻路和记住位置很重要。 为了调查这些 为了提高能力，提出了四个实验，其中 1 到 3 岁的儿童 需要多少岁才能找到他们刚刚目睹的物体 隐藏在沙箱中。 这些实验的目标是：1）测试 幼儿使用分层结构的普遍性和稳健性 跨不同形状环境的空间编码； 2）判断是否 层级组织模型适用于维护 空间运动过程中的空间定向； 3）检查儿童的 使用空间地标在移动过程中保持空间方向。
