Surrounding space is not inherently organized, but we tend to treat it as though it consisted of regions (e.g., front, back, right, and left). The current studies show that these conceptual regions have characteristics that reflect our typical interactions with space. Three experiments examined the relative sizes and resolutions of front, back, left, and right around oneself. Front, argued to be the most important horizontal region, was found to be (a) largest, (b) recalled with the greatest precision, and (c) described with the greatest degree pf detao. Our findings suggest that some of the characteristics of the category model proposed by Huttenlocher, Hedges, and Duncan (1991) regarding memory for pictured circular displays may be generalized to space around oneself. More broadly, our results support and extend the spatial framework analysis of representation of surrounding space (Franklin & Tversky, 1990).
周围空间本身并无固有组织，但我们倾向于将其视为由不同区域（如前、后、右、左）构成。当前研究表明，这些概念区域具有反映我们与空间典型互动的特征。三项实验考察了自身周围前、后、左、右的相对大小和分辨率。被认为是最重要水平区域的“前”，被发现具有以下特点：（a）最大；（b）回忆时精度最高；（c）描述时细节程度最高。我们的研究结果表明，赫滕洛彻、赫奇斯和邓肯（1991年）提出的关于图片圆形展示记忆的类别模型的一些特征，可能适用于自身周围的空间。更广泛地说，我们的结果支持并扩展了对周围空间表征的空间框架分析（富兰克林和特沃斯基，1990年）。
