The role of similarity in memory for location of pictures was examined. Undergraduates memorized the locations of 10 pictures situated within a map. The similarity of the pictures was manipulated. Two days later, subjects were tested for their memory of the locations. The results indicated that subjects clustered the locations of the pictures on the basis of pictorial similarity, such that locations of similar pictures were judged as closer than equidistant locations of dissimilar pictures. The results are discussed in the framework of a hierarchical model of spatial memory.
