空間認知的發展：以幾何空間模組派典理解人類如何編碼空間位置
The Development of Spatial Cognition: Understand how People Encode Spatial Locations using the Paradigm of Geometric Module
摘要
本篇文章介紹空間認知發展領域之幾何空間模組派典，並回顧與此派典有關之重要議題。幾何空間模組派典指出當人類與其他物種於密閉空間內失去方向感時，均傾向優先使用幾何形狀訊息以重新定位。人類幼童在面對地標特徵訊息提供時，仍無法整合形狀與地標訊息以辨認物體位置，然而成人卻可以整合這兩類不同的空間訊息。根據派典裡的模組與語言假說，人類在發展的過程中，由於掌握對「左右關係」空間語言的使用而得以整合這兩類空間訊息。進一步的證據則顯示，語言可能並非整合訊息的必備條件，但仍具有其強大的助益角色。此外，亦發現受試者身處空間之內或身處空間之外，其空間作業難度並非相同。藉由幾何空間模組派典，得以一窺人類暨其他物種如何編碼空間位置以及人類發展上的差異。

This article reviews the paradigm of geometric module and its current issues. Research has indicated that both for rats and for human toddlers, reorientation is accomplished using a geometric module that receives only shaped-based geometric information of enclosed spaces. However, for human adults, both geometric and featural landmark information is combined to locate objects after disorientation. According to the ”modularity plus language” hypothesis, the language production of left-right sense helps children and adults conjoin geometric and featural landmark information. In addition, it has been found that the task for the paradigm is more difficult when viewing from outside the space than from inside. The implications of the paradigm of geometric module are, therefore, discussed in the paper in terms of the development of spatial cognition.
