We applied the Landscape Montage Technique (LMT) to 233 Turkish students ranging from kindergarten to university. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the developmental characteristics of types of rivers with respect to the frames in landscapes drawn by Turkish students based on LMT. We identified eight types of rivers with respect to the frames and found their developmental changes. Furthermore, compared with the results of the Japanese cases in our previous research, this paper’s results basically show the same tendencies as the Japanese cases. We conclude that the developmental characteristics of types of rivers with respect to the frames probably concern universal and fundamental spatial schema that human beings have in their inner worlds and transcend cultural frameworks.
