Four experiments investigated the more efficient recall of routes learned from text descriptions when the imagined orientation at test was in alignment with the first experienced perspective. Experiments 1 and 2 replicated the effect, but found little evidence for the influence of an external frame of reference provided either by describing a salient landmark external to the route, or by employing cardinal directions in the descriptions. In Experiment 3, the first-perspective alignment (FPA) effect was relatively unaffected by elaboration of spatial information or more experience of reading the text. Experiment 4 found attenuation of the FPA effect when participants made active spatial judgements from imagined key locations while learning. The results are discussed in relation to theories of spatial reference frames and the influence of location salience.
四项实验研究了在测试时想象的方向与最初体验的视角一致时，从文本描述中学到的路线能否更有效地被回忆起来。实验1和实验2重复了这一效应，但几乎没有证据表明，通过描述路线外部的显著地标或在描述中使用方位基点所提供的外部参照系会产生影响。在实验3中，第一视角对齐（FPA）效应相对不受空间信息详细程度或阅读文本更多经验的影响。实验4发现，当参与者在学习时从想象的关键位置进行主动空间判断时，FPA效应会减弱。我们将结合空间参照系理论和位置显著性的影响来讨论这些结果。
