Acquisition of spatial knowledge through self-directed interaction with a virtual model of a multi-level building: Effects of training and individual differences

作者:

Highlights:

• Interactive controls enabled self-directed spatial learning with a complex virtual model.

• Egocentric (virtual movement) and allocentric (rotation, zoom) perspectives were addressed.

• Apitudes (e.g., perspective taking, spatial strategies) explained up to 30% of the variance.

• Short-term training explained up to 10% of the variance in addition.

• Training strongly diminished the role of aptitudes in spatial learning.
