ABSTRACT
In the most general sense, categories help people manage an unlimited amount of available information. When learning an environment, people hierarchically organize spatial information, grouped by spatial categories (e.g., McNamara, 1986; Stevens & Coup, 1978). Further, non-spatial information appears to be associated with its respective location in memory, whereby non-spatial information primes locations (McNamara, Halpin, & Hardy, 1992). What happens when the non-spatial information can be categorized separately from the locations?
