This study analyses sketch-maps drawn by subjects after we had them walk in a simulated circular space. The aim of this study is to clarify the characteristics of cognitive maps, comprising directions, locations of objects, distances. In our analysis, we were able to divide the sketch-maps into 4 groups based on the drawn locations of objects. The study resulted in 4 main conclusions. (1)All subjects oriented their cognitive maps with the starting position in the front, and the large space further ahead. (2) most subjects recognized the location of objects by the most simple schema-point symmetry. (3) Those with better distance cognition drew the whole site correctly. (4) Distortions in spatial cognition present at the initial view were, when continued, one reason leading to distortions in the cognitive map.
