Objective—To examine the efficiency of description strategies people used in collaborative spatial tasks. Methods—Study1 asked participants (N = 30) to describe the location of specific objects under different spatial conditions. The experimental conditions contained different spatial layouts (regular, irregular) and visibility of the interactive partner’s perspective (available, unavailable). We recorded all the utterances and categorized them by the description strategies involved. Study2 tested the efficiency of these strategies. Participants (N = 30) were guided by different kinds of descriptions to make spatial judgments. Results— (1) There are four spatial description strategies most commonly used: Addressee-centered, Exocentric, Object-based and Egocentric. (2) Participants’ spontaneous descriptions were affected by their partner’s viewpoint. When the partner's viewpoint is unavailable, they tend to represent spatial information exocentrically. (3) Organizing spatial instructions in an exocentric way led to better task performance. Conclusion—If the collaborators have common cognition of spatial directions and references, exocentric reference frame could maximize the efficiency of spatial interactions.
