Recognition priming and distance estimation were used to investigate the mental representation of knowledge acquired from maps. In Experiment 1, recognition priming showed that cities close in route distance primed each other more than cities far in route distance, even when Euclidean distance was equated. Experiment 2 showed that this finding was robust and not an artifact of the way subjects learned the maps. Distance estimations in Experiment 1 supported the priming results. These results indicated that psychological distance in cognitive maps is primarily dependent on route distance rather than Euclidean distance.
识别启动效应和距离估计被用于研究从地图中获取的知识的心理表征。在实验1中，识别启动效应表明，在路线距离上较近的城市之间的相互启动作用比路线距离上较远的城市更强，即使欧几里得距离相等。实验2表明，这一发现是可靠的，并非受试者学习地图方式所导致的假象。实验1中的距离估计结果支持了启动效应的结果。这些结果表明，认知地图中的心理距离主要取决于路线距离而非欧几里得距离。
