Abstract
This study examines how the kinesthetic experience of walking a route affects the memory of places along the route. Each of thirty-one subjects was asked to walk three routes, which are differ in road configuration, and asked to memorize six places on each route. After this experience, the subject was asked to identify the places using three kinds of visual stimuli : a set of randomized snapshots of the scenes, CG animation of the road configurations, and a series of photos taken along the route. The result indicates that the memory of a place with the kinesthetic experience is recalled easier and is kept longer than the one without it.
