Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of weightlessness on mental representation of spatial cues. Two astronauts drew two groups of three-dimensional cubes with their eyes closed, one on Earth (preflight) and the other under weightless conditions during a 7-day orbital flight (inflight). Differences in the average height of the two groups of cubes were observed. The ratio of average length of the horizontal vs. the vertical lines of the inflight cubes increased significantly compared to that of the preflight cubes. The disappearance of the gravitational reference system, which determines on Earth the vertical direction, seems to influence the internal representation of the vertical dimension, (i.e. the height) of a three-dimensional object.
