Research on the existence of cognitive maps and on the cognitive processes that support
effective navigation has often focused on functioning across individuals. However, there are …

Men show a consistent spatial navigation advantage over women, which is often attributed
to their increased use of survey spatial strategies. But what about men's navigation gives …

Abstract Turn-by-turn (TBT) route guidance technology installed on mobile phones is very
popular among car drivers for wayfinding purposes. Previous studies examined their effect …

Buildings with spatially complex interiors poise unique challenges during operations and
maintenance. A complex interior makes wayfinding difficult, which can inhibit daily …

This book offers students an introduction to human spatial cognition and experience and is
designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are interested in the …

This chapter examines the role of some of the external and internal factors in determining
individual differences in the performance of spatial tasks, such as way-finding, map learning …

Background Navigation skills are essential for independent living as they allow us to explore
our environment; find our way to new locations, refine pathways to familiar locations and …

Brain networks involved in working and spatial memory are closely intertwined, outlining a
potential relation between these processes, which are also affected in non-pathological …

Students learn more effectively through repeated retrieval of study materials relative to
repeated exposure to the materials, a phenomenon known as the testing effect or retrieval …

Familiarity enables us to form elaborate mental representations of environments, which are
usually assessed with tasks that involve managing spatial information (such as pointing and …
