Development of Spatial Representations: Role of Task Demands and Familiarity with the Environment.
And Others; Cohen, Robert
Child Development, v50 n4 p1257-60 Dec 1979

Findings suggest (1) an increase in the ability to shift among spatial frames of reference with development and (2) a sequence of mastery of spatial knowledge. (RH)
