Spatial integration refers to the superimposition of two separate spatial relationships between cues (C1-C2 and C2-C3) by a common linking element (C2). This linkage creates a new spatial relationship between cues that were never paired together (C1-C3). Several authors obtained conflicting results on spatial integration in both humans and animals. Using a dynamic 3D virtual environment, we provide the first clear evidence that humans can integrate two spatial relationships into a new spatial relationship that guides spatial navigation. This research is discussed in light of a spatial version of the temporal coding hypothesis (Savastano and Miller, 1998).
空间整合是指通过一个共同的连接元素（C2）将线索之间的两种独立空间关系（C1-C2和C2-C3）进行叠加。这种联系在从未配对在一起的线索（C1-C3）之间创造了一种新的空间关系。几位作者在人类和动物的空间整合方面得到了相互矛盾的结果。利用动态三维虚拟环境，我们首次提供了明确的证据，证明人类能够将两种空间关系整合为一种指导空间导航的新空间关系。本文根据时间编码假说的空间版本（萨瓦斯塔诺和米勒，1998年）对该研究进行了讨论。
