Peer reviewed
Direct linkYerramsetti, Ashok; Marchette, Steven A.; Shelton, Amy L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Orientation dependence in spatial memory has often been interpreted in terms of accessibility: Object locations are encoded relative to a reference orientation that affords the most accurate access to spatial memory. An open question, however, is whether people naturally use this "preferred" orientation whenever recalling the space. We…
