Eighteen university student volunteers, each having completed at least two years of university geography, performed tasks requiring the verification of topographical cross‐section diagrams. Each task required first the study of a contour map of a single topographical feature with a cross‐section line drawn across it. When ready, the subject was shown a cross‐section diagram and was required to respond yes or no as to whether the diagram was correct for the map stimulus just studied. A non‐constant relationship was found between map study time and the orientation of the cross‐section line on the map. Also, response times for yes judgments were longer than those for no, although both yes and no response times were constant with respect to initial cross‐section line orientation. The findings were interpreted as supporting an imagery based strategy rather than one based on serial encoding.
