Authors of this paper constructed a remote control simulation system of micromachine, to make clear experimentally the accomplishment of guiding tasks and the formation of man's cognitive models of space configuration when man remote-controls a micromachine in some fine tubes. The system gives pictures of the inner part of the test space. Subjects were set to a task to guide a micromachine from a start point to a goal point by relying on these 'subjective' visual images. The test space was set to 2-dimensions and motions of the micromachine were restricted to going forward-and-backward and turning right-and-left. The authors had the subjects draw objective space figures after trials to check their cognitive models in their brain. Results show that (1) subjects who were given only subjective visual images settle their own paths to the goal, and form partial cognitive models along the settled paths. Their times required to reach the goal and strokes become stable. (2) Having subjects draw a figure after every trial stimulates formation processes of their global models of the test space. (3) Familiar marks or symbols inside tubes help subjects to form better cognitive models, and make them accomplish guiding tasks more easily.
