AB This study explores spatial representations generated by people playing either the producer’s or thecomprehender’s role in non-interactive settings, under identical manipulations of the communicationmodality (pointing vs. verbal directions) and the type of body rotation (physical vs. imagined). Resultsshowed that these manipulations consistently modulated the accessibility of the target locations in similarways for both producers and comprehenders, indicating a common retrieval process of spatialinformation in the absence of alignment cues. In both roles, the accessibility pattern to directionsobtained when using the pointing gesture was heavily dependent on the rotation type, whereas that wasless so when using verbal directions. The results also demonstrated that the differences in the accessibilitypatterns arise at the response encoding stage (in production) and at the response decoding stage (incomprehension), suggesting a functional parallelism in the response system between the twocommunication roles. The commonality in the retrieval processes is a genuine phenomenon that shouldbe taken into account when attributing exclusively the phenomenon of spatial alignment to theinteractive efforts performed by producers and comprehenders.
