Blocking of spatial learning between enclosure geometry and a local landmark. (2008)
Journal Article
Wilson, P. N., & Alexander, T. (2008). Blocking of spatial learning between enclosure geometry and a local landmark. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 34(6), 1369-1376. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0013011

In a virtual environment, blocking of spatial learning to locate an invisible target was found reciprocally between a distinctively shaped enclosure and a local landmark within its walls. The blocking effect was significantly stronger when the shape... Read More about Blocking of spatial learning between enclosure geometry and a local landmark..

Influences on the First-Perspective Alignment Effect from Text Route Descriptions (2008)
Journal Article
Wildbur, D. J., & Wilson, P. (2008). Influences on the First-Perspective Alignment Effect from Text Route Descriptions. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 61(5), 763-783. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210701303224

Four experiments investigated the more efficient recall of routes learned from text descriptions when the imagined orientation at test was in alignment with the first experienced perspective. Experiments 1 and 2 replicated the effect, but found littl... Read More about Influences on the First-Perspective Alignment Effect from Text Route Descriptions.
