Abstract
The present study investigated the role of encoding perspective in
mental representation for the spatial layout learned via the route,
leaning and aerial perspectives which are different with respect to the
height taken. Two experiments with the same procedures were carried out
in two different virtual rooms. The results showed that the direction
judgment, especially the vertical angle judgment, was changed as the
perspectives varied along the vertical dimension of space. In addition,
the room geometry can also influence the mental representation of
spatial relations. The data indicated that the orientation-dependent
property of spatial memory can be formed when the perspective varies
along the vertical dimension of space.
