By having subjects drive a virtual taxicab through a computer-rendered town, we examined
how landmark and layout information interact during spatial navigation. Subject-drivers …

Becoming proficient at navigation in urban environments is something that we all aspire to.
Here we asked whether being an expert at wayfinding in one environment has any effect on …

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 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 …

Despite much recent interest, it is unclear which types of landmarks are best suited for
survey knowledge acquisition. Thus, we investigated the accuracy of survey knowledge after …

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

This work investigates whether large-scale indoor layouts can be learned and navigated
non-visually, using verbal descriptions of layout geometry that are updated, eg contingent on …

Classical theories of spatial microgenesis (Siegel and White, 1975) posit that information
about landmarks and the paths between them is acquired prior to the establishment of more …

In everyday life, navigators often consult a map before they navigate to a destination (eg, a
hotel, a room, etc.). However, not much is known about how humans gain spatial knowledge …

Navigating through real or virtual worlds requires a workable knowledge of the spatial
layout. According to the landmark-route-survey model, metric spatial knowledge (survey …
