This paper aims to study the effect of structure in a graphical layout on object-location memory.In two experiments several structures have been examined in respect to the performance of object-location retrieval.The results show that beside simple object-to-object spatial relations also the spatial relation of three objects is encoded in human spatial memory as a noisy distance-angular pair.Further the results show that noise in spatial memory is not symmetric, but seems to be distorted towards a higher accuracy to the horizontal directions.
