Popis: This paper describes an experiment that provides data for the development of a cognitive model of pilot flight navigation. The experiment characterizes navigational awareness as the mental alignment of two frames of reference: 1) the ego centered reference frame that is established by the forward view out of the cockpit, and 2) the world centered reference frame that is established by the aircraft's location on a map. The data support a model involving at least two components: 1) the perceptual encoding of the navigational landmarks, and 2) the mental rotation of the map's world reference frame into alignment with the ego centered reference frame. The quantitative relationships of these two factors are provided as possible inputs for a computational model of spatial cognition during flight navigation.
