Here we present an experiment investigating human route learning behavior. Specific
interest concerned the learning strategies as well as the underlying spatial knowledge. In …

The nature of route learning in terms of the memorizing of landmarks was investigated. In
Experiment 1, participants memorized landmarks while being guided through a computer …

In the current study, we investigated the ways in which the acquisition and transfer of spatial
knowledge were affected by (a) the type of spatial relations predominately experienced …

Two experiments investigated how people develop different landmark knowledge at
decision points. Participants learned a route in a virtual city once or five times. One …

In an unfamiliar environment, searching for and navigating to a target requires that spatial
information be acquired, stored, processed, and retrieved. In a study encompassing all of …

In this work, three experiments are reported that studied the use and interaction of
navigation strategies both during the learning of a virtual environment and during …

We investigated the role of geographical slant in simple navigation and spatial memory
tasks, using an outdoor virtual environment. The whole environment couldb e slanted by an …

Environmental navigation entails the constant integration of information across space and
time; however, the relation between spatial and temporal features involved in wayfinding …

An important, but as yet incompletely resolved, issue is whether spatial knowledge acquired
during navigation differs significantly from that acquired by studying a cartographic map …

Virtual environments are already used frequently in research and practice. However, it
remained unclear to what extent human spatial behavior in real and virtual environments are …
