Modeling the cognitive map formation process based on psychological experiments using a computer graphics system

Four psychological experiments using a computer graphics system were conducted to investigate human spatial recognition performance. It was found that the exponent of the power function for remembered distance decreases as the memory load increases. This exponent decrease was predicted by a psychological model based on signal detection theory. In addition, the spatial recognition process while navigating in a complicated space was examined and the capacity of the spatial memory clarified.<
