This study investigated differences between individuals with survey and landmark-centred spatial representations in different visuo-spatial tasks and in two way-finding tasks. The Mental Rotation Test (MRT; Vanderberg Likert high-survey individuals performed the MRT better than the landmark-centred ones. In the way-finding task an interaction, instruction by group, was found, supporting the idea that the two groups are influenced differently by the format (map or verbal description) of instructions. The landmark-centred group made fewer errors than the high-survey group with the verbal descriptions.
