The modality by which object azimuths (directions) are presented affects learning of multiple locations. In Experiment 1, participants learned sets of three and five object azimuths specified by a visual virtual environment, spatial audition (3D sound), or auditory spatial language. Five azimuths were learned faster when specified by spatial modalities (vision, audition) than by language. Experiment 2 equated the modalities for proprioceptive cues and eliminated spatial cues unique to vision (optic flow) and audition (differential binaural signals). There remained a learning disadvantage for spatial language. We attribute this result to the cost of indirect processing from words to spatial representations.
呈现物体方位(方向)的方式会影响对多个位置的学习。在实验1中,参与者学习由视觉虚拟环境、空间听觉(3D声音)或听觉空间语言指定的三组和五组物体方位。当由空间模态(视觉、听觉)指定时,五个方位的学习速度比由语言指定时更快。实验2使本体感觉线索的模态相等,并消除了视觉(光流)和听觉(双耳差异信号)特有的空间线索。空间语言在学习上仍然存在劣势。我们将这一结果归因于从单词到空间表征的间接处理成本。
