The mental representation of spatial descriptions [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1982 Two experiments investigated the mental representation of spatial descriptions. In Experiment 1, the subjects classified a series of diagrams, each presented after a spatial description, as either consistent or inconsistent with the description. They were then given an unexpected recognition test of their memory for the descriptions.

Exploring the Structure of Spatial Representations
PLOS ONE, 2016 It has been suggested that the map-like representations that support human spatial memory are fragmented into sub-maps with local reference frames, rather than being unitary and global. However, the principles underlying the structure of these 'cognitive maps' are not well understood.

Spatial Representations of Words and Nonwords
Cortex, 1992 The first two experiments investigated whether the representations of words, besides being unitary, are also spatial in nature. Subjects were required to search for target letters in either five-letter words or five-letter nonwords. They were instructed to press the right-side key for one target and the left-side key for the other target.

Spatial updating of map-acquired representation [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2015 In the present study, we examined whether people can update a map-acquired spatial representation. The participants learned a spatial layout from a map displayed on a computer screen, and then performed spatial judgments at a novel position either in the same room (Exp. 1) or in a distal room (Exp. 2).
