“…Moreover, spatial representations derived from language do not seem to be as vivid as ones derived from perception. For example, Federico and Franklin (1997) found that information about spatial relations was retained longer in memory when it was encoded from pictures rather than text. Finally, the studies by Mellet et al (2000Mellet et al ( , 2002 revealed that despite the common activation of the parieto-frontal network, language and vision activated (during mental scanning) other areas that were specific to the input; language selectively activated the angular gyrus and Broca's and Wernicke's areas (Mellet et al, 2002), whereas vision selectively activated the medial temporal lobe (Mellet et al, 2002).…”

has indicated that spatial representations derived from spatial language can function equivalently to those derived from perception. The authors tested functional equivalence for reporting spatial relations that were not explicitly stated during learning. Participants learned a spatial layout by visual perception or spatial language and then made allocentric direction and distance judgments. Experiments 1 and 2 indicated allocentric relations could be accurately reported in all modalities, but visually perceived layouts, tested with or without vision, produced faster and less variable directional responses than language. In Experiment 3, when participants were forced to create a spatial image during learning (by spatially updating during a backward translation), functional equivalence of spatial language and visual perception was demonstrated by patterns of latency, systematic error, and variability.

“…Moreover, spatial representations constructed by means of language do not seem as vivid as ones derived from vision, and the latter appear to be retained longer in memory (e.g. Federico & Franklin, ). Klatzky et al () showed that when spatial information was learned by means of language, participants took longer to form a stable spatial representation of the environment than when a direct perception of the stimuli was provided.…”

Two experiments investigate how people create spatial mental models (SMMs) as a function of presentation format. Spatial representations following a route within a virtual environment (visual) and an auditory description (verbal) were compared. Moreover, a dual-task procedure was adopted to depict the role of working memory (WM) components in such a task. Two testing formats were examined in both experiments: sentence verification (verbal) and sketch map (visual) tasks. This study shows that both presentations lead to adequate spatial representation. Nonetheless, SMMs are not presentation free. They are built by virtual presentation with a contribution of visuo-spatial WM. An involvement of verbal WM emerged while encoding spatial information from both verbal and virtual presentation. Congruency between presentation and testing formats slightly reduces the gap between verbal and virtual presentation. SMMs appear to be affected by the interaction of presentation and testing format as well as by the WM availability
