Abstract

Montello (1992) offers a number of interesting comments from the perspective of environmental cognition. In this reply, I would like to clarify one of the assumptions of the original Spatial Representation System (SRS) account (Bryant 1992) and to question Montello's (1992) claim that only egocentric frames of reference are used in working memory.

Keywords

Spacial representation, spacial models, cognitive maps, linguistic structure.
