Two experiments investigated the effects of landmarks and body-based information on route
knowledge. Participants made four out-and-back journeys along a route, guided only on the …

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 …

We report on a study in which we examine if the visual design of virtual environments (VEs)
affects visuospatial knowledge acquisition in younger and older adults with varying cognitive …

This study assesses gender differences in wayfinding in environments with global or local
landmarks by analyzing both overall and fine-grained measures of performance. Both …

Usually, routing models in evacuation simulations assume that agents have comprehensive
and global knowledge about the building's structure. They neglect the fact that pedestrians …

This chapter reviews and identifies gaps in research examining collective navigation and
describes the results of a small study aimed at better elucidating the independent and …

In this paper, we sketch out a computational theory of spatial cognition motivated by
navigational behaviours, ecological requirements, and neural mechanisms as identified in …

It is well established that humans use self-motion and landmark cues to successfully
navigate their environment. Existing research has demonstrated a critical role of the …

Graphical User Interfaces present commands at particular locations, arranged in menus,
toolbars, and ribbons. One hallmark of expertise with a GUI is that experts know the …

We used a driving simulator to investigate landmark-based route navigation in young adults.
Previous research has examined how proximal and distal landmarks influence route …
