摘要: 利用虚拟地理环境模拟、表达和重构客观真实环境是当前空间认知科学领域的主要试验研究范式之一。针对人们在虚拟环境和真实环境中的认知表现是否一致的问题,本文以桌面式虚拟环境和真实环境为试验场景设计对照试验,将空间认知分为格局认知、对象认知和空间响应3个维度,通过设计认知试验,分析两种环境下参与者的空间认知差异,探究个体特征对空间认知的影响及其环境效应。研究表明:①环境类型和个体特征对空间对象认知无显著影响;②具有地理知识背景、旋转心象地图、使用协调空间参考框架人群的格局认知更详细和准确;③环境类型对路径响应无明显影响,但对转角响应影响显著。参与者在虚拟环境中可以更有效地识别正确方向,并且专业背景具有显著的主效应,MRT水平与环境类型具有显著的联合效应。本文研究结果为基于桌面式虚拟环境进行空间对象认知模拟试验的有效性提供了依据,也可用于指导根据用户特征订制个性化虚拟环境。

Abstract: Using virtual geographic environment to simulate, express and reconstruct real environment is one of the main experimental research paradigms in the domain of spatial cognitive science. To investigate whether people’s cognitive performance in virtual environment is consistent with that in real environment, this paper designs a control experiment to test the spatial cognition differences of participants in desktop virtual environment and real environment, where the spatial cognition is decomposed into three dimensions: pattern cognition, object cognition and spatial response, so that the influence of individual characteristics on spatial cognition and its environmental effects can be deduced. The results show that: ① neither environment type nor individual characteristics have significant impact on the spatial cognition; ② the participants with geographical knowledge background, rotating their mental map, and using coordinated spatial reference frame have more detailed and accurate cognition on the spatial pattern; ③ the environment type has no significant effect on the path response, but has a significant effect on the corner response. Besides, the participants can identify the correct direction more effectively in virtual environment. The positive effect of their professional knowledge is significant, and MRT level and environment type have significant joint effect. These outcomes have proved that cognitive simulation experiments can work well in a desktop virtual environment. They are also instructive to establish personalized virtual environment according to user characteristics.
