Abstract(in English) Previous research on spatial memory has evidenced that a single view produces an orientation dependent representation of place. We investigated the effect of self-movement information on orientation dependency in the formation and retrieval of spatial memory. Participants learned layouts of objects in a particular orientation and then made judgements about the egocentric directions of unseen objects from orientations that were either the same as or different from the one occupied at learning. When visual self-movement information was provided, judgements in novel orientations were as accurate as those in the studied orientation; moreover, directing accuracy at those novel orientations remained constant in subsequent judgements without self-movement information. The results suggest that self-movement information allows retrieving and encoding place information in an orientation independent manner by mentally updating an orientation dependent representation of place.
