MAP PERSPECTIVE AND THE LEARNING OF TEXT

In two studies, undergraduates learned a map of the city of Rome in ei ther a flat survey map or a one-point perspective format. The perspect ive map lead to greater feature recall in the first study and to bette r memory for a related text when features were correctly located in th e second study. Both studies suggest that map scanning patterns may di ffer depending on the learner's point of view. (C) 1995 Academic Press , Inc.
