To successfully navigate to a target, it is useful to be able to define its location at multiple
levels of specificity. For example, the location of a favorite coffee mug can be described in …

A real-world open-field search task was implemented with humans as an analogue of
Blaisdell and Cook's (Anim Cogn 8: 7–16, 2005) pigeon foraging task and Sturz, Bodily, and …

Navigators use both external cues and internal heuristics to help them plan efficient routes
through environments. In six experiments, we discover and seek the origin of a novel …

We introduce a new virtual environment (VE) called SQUARELAND, consisting of a 10× 10
block maze, which allows for all kinds of investigations in human wayfinding. It enables …

Digital maps on personal devices (eg, phones) are common tools used to aid navigation.
Different types of digital maps can influence spatial knowledge acquisition, and this effect …

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 …

Two experiments examined how spatial learning perspectives support navigation through
virtual urban environments. Participants briefly learned the overall layout of a virtual desktop …

Navigating to goal locations in a known environment (wayfinding) can be accomplished by
different strategies, notably by taking habitual, well‐learned routes (response strategy) or by …

Much of our day-to-day wayfinding behaviour takes place in familiar large-scale urban
environments, yet there is a dearth of studies examining how wayfinding unfolds on a …
