The intention of this article is to create a link between human spatial cognition research and
architectural design. We conducted an empirical study with human subjects in a complex …

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 …

The idea that humans use flexible map‐like representations of their environment to guide
spatial navigation has a long and controversial history. One reason for this enduring …

The incidental acquisition of spatial orientation knowledge when using a pedestrian
navigation assistance system for wayfinding was compared to incidental learning during …

Learning to navigate plays an integral role in the survival of humans and other animals.
Research on human navigation has largely focused on how we deliberately map out our …

Research has demonstrated navigational aids impair spatial memory, but has not
considered important spatial cognitive concepts. For example, impairment may stem from …

Three experiments investigated the role of egocentric orientation in subsequent memory for
