Three experiments investigated the roles of intrinsic directions of a scene and observer's viewing direction in recognizing the scene. Participants learned the locations of seven objects along an intrinsic direction that was different from their viewing direction and then recognized spatial arrangements of three or six of these objects from different viewpoints. The results showed that triplets with two objects along the intrinsic direction (intrinsic triplets) were easier to recognize than triplets with two objects along the study viewing direction (non-intrinsic triplets), even when the intrinsic triplets were presented at a novel test viewpoint and the non-intrinsic triplets were presented at the familiar test viewpoint. The results also showed that configurations with the same three or six objects were easier to recognize at the familiar test viewpoint than other viewpoints. These results support and develop the model of spatial memory and navigation proposed by Mou, McNamara, Valiquette, and Rump [Mou, W., McNamara, T. P., Valiquiette C. M., & Rump, B. (2004). Allocentric and egocentric updating of spatial memories. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 30, 142-157].
三项实验研究了场景的固有方向和观察者的观察方向在场景识别中的作用。参与者沿着与他们的观察方向不同的固有方向学习了七个物体的位置，然后从不同视角识别这些物体中三个或六个的空间排列。结果表明，即使固有三元组在新的测试视角呈现，而非固有三元组在熟悉的测试视角呈现，沿着固有方向有两个物体的三元组（固有三元组）比沿着学习观察方向有两个物体的三元组（非固有三元组）更容易识别。结果还表明，具有相同三个或六个物体的配置在熟悉的测试视角比在其他视角更容易识别。这些结果支持并发展了由Mou、McNamara、Valiquette和Rump提出的空间记忆和导航模型[Mou, W., McNamara, T. P., Valiquiette C. M., & Rump, B. (2004). 空间记忆的异心和自我中心更新。《实验心理学杂志：学习、记忆和认知》，30, 142 - 157]。
