Impact of mental rotation strategy on absolute direction judgments: supplementing conventional measures with eye movement data

摘要: By training participants to use map-first mental rotation as their primary strategy on absolute navigational task, this study focused how integration of heading information (from the exocentric reference frame) with target position egocentric affects direction judgments. Comparing previous studies, results in showed (1) response was not better for north than south, (2) slowest back canonical condition, and (3) cardinal advantage right-back impaired. Eye movement data supported these conclusions partially, should be cautious similar goals. These findings can applied interfaces design such electric space.
