The aim of this paper is to clarify the role played by referential factors in the development of a spatial code during reading. Specifically, it explores whether this spatial encoding is determined by referential events related to a change in narrative mode which affect the integration process. Participants read narrative texts consisting of two paragraphs in which the point of view either changed or remained the same. The display mode was also manipulated (spatialized versus nonspatialized presentation). The results of experiment 1 (reading task) indicated that readers take more time to read text containing a change in point of view. Using a new methodology to assess spatial memory, experiments 2 (visual-search pointing task) and 3 (memory-search pointing task) showed that subjects are faster and more accurate at locating text areas where such perspective shifts occurred. It is proposed that spatial encoding is a strategic process optimizing potentials by backtracking to important parts of a text in order to solve referential difficulties occurring later in the text.
