In a virtual environment, blocking of spatial learning to locate an invisible target was found reciprocally between a distinctively shaped enclosure and a local landmark within its walls. The blocking effect was significantly stronger when the shape of the enclosure rather than the landmark served as the blocking cue. However, the extent to which the landmark blocked enclosure-shape learning was not influenced by increasing the physical salience of the landmark. The outcomes are the first to suggest that cue-interaction effects, commonly found in human and animal contingency learning experiments, are also found in human spatial learning based on landmarks and enclosure walls. The data are discussed in terms of spatial reference frames.
在虚拟环境中，研究发现，在一个形状独特的围栏与其围墙内的一个局部地标之间，存在着相互的空间学习阻断现象，即阻止对看不见目标的定位学习。当围栏的形状而非地标作为阻断线索时，阻断效应显著更强。然而，地标对围栏形状学习的阻断程度并不受地标物理显著性增加的影响。这些结果首次表明，在人类和动物的偶然性学习实验中常见的线索交互效应，在基于地标和围墙的人类空间学习中也存在。我们从空间参考框架的角度对这些数据进行了讨论。
