A dissociation between mental rotation and perspective-taking spatial abilities (2004, background): “…with performance measures of large-scale spatial tasks, such imagining oneself reoriented in a known environment and learning spatial layout (Hegarty et al., 2002; Sholl, 1988), but this provides only indirect evidence of the relation of the perspective-taking tests to real-world spatial…”
A Process Model of the Formation of Spatial Presence Experiences (2007, background): “Most important is spatial visual imagery, one of the skills that belong to the construct of spatial ability ( Hegarty, Richardson, Montello, Lovelace, & Subbiah, 2002 ).”
Spatial knowledge acquisition from direct experience in the environment: individual differences in the development of metric knowledge and the integration of separately learned places. (2006, methodology): “Participants Wlled out the Santa Barbara Sense-of-Direction (SBSOD) Scale, which was developed and validated by Hegarty et al. (2002).”
Components of Spatial Thinking: Evidence from a Spatial Thinking Ability Test (2012, background): “For instance, Just and Carpenter (1985) found that many spatial test items may also involve verbal analytic processing.”
Up the down staircase : Wayfinding strategies in multi-level buildings (2006, methodology): “But also individual differences in sense of direction (FSBSOD)—known to be related with tasks requiring survey knowledge—did not correlate reliably with performance (Hegarty et al., 2002; Kozlowski & Bryant, 1977).”
Perspective-Taking vs. Mental Rotation Transformations and How They Predict Spatial Navigation Performance. (2006, background): “Others have reported that spatial ability tests and navigation tasks loaded on separate but weakly to moderately related factors (Hegarty et al., 2002; Juan-Espinosa et al., 2000; Lorenz & Neisser, 1986; Pearson & Ialongo, 1986) or separate factors that were only related through mediating variables ”
Older people and outdoor environments: Pedestrian anxieties and barriers in the use of familiar and unfamiliar spaces (2013, background): “It was important to connect our work on barriers to older people's navigation in unfamiliar spaces with previous research that has devised standard measures to investigate gender differences in spatial ability (Lawton, 1994, 2001) and sense of direction (Hegarty et al., 2002).”
Spatial abilities at different scales: Individual differences in aptitude-test performance and spatial-layout learning (2006, methodology): “However we have argued that absolute error provides the best summary measure of individual differences in direction estimation (Hegarty et al., 2002) because it best predicts whether a person would be closest to a correct answer on a given trial, an aspect of performance that requires both low const”
