Previous studies have shown that people are faster to process objects that they own as compared with objects that other people own. Yet object ownership is embedded within a social environment that has distinct and sometimes competing rules for interaction. Here we ask whether ownership of space can act as a filter through which we process what belongs to us. Can a sense of territory modulate the well-established benefits in information processing that owned objects enjoy? In 4 experiments participants categorized their own or another person's objects that appeared in territories assigned either to themselves or to another. We consistently found that faster processing of self-owned than other-owned objects only emerged for objects appearing in the self-territory, with no such advantage in other territories. We propose that knowing whom spaces belong to may serve to define the space in which affordances resulting from ownership lead to facilitated processing.

它与领土相伴：跨空间边界的所有权。

先前的研究表明，与其他人拥有的对象相比，人们更快地处理他们拥有的对象。然而，对象所有权被嵌入在具有独特且有时相互竞争的交互规则的社会环境中。在这里，我们问空间的所有权是否可以作为我们处理属于我们的东西的过滤器。地域感能否调节拥有对象享有的信息处理中公认的好处？在4个实验中，参与者将出现在分配给自己或其他人的区域中的自己或他人的物体归类。我们始终发现，仅针对出现在自家领土内的物体出现了比其他自有物体更快的处理，而在其他领土上则没有这种优势。我们建议知道空间属于谁，可以用来定义空间，其中所有权所产生的能力导致便利的处理。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
