How does navigation system behavior influence human behavior?

Cognitive Research, 2019
Navigation systems are ubiquitous tools to assist wayfinders of the mobile information society with various navigational tasks. Whenever such systems assist with self-localization and path planning, they reduce human effort for navigating.

Maladaptive bias for extrahippocampal navigation strategies in aging humans. [PDF]

, 2013
Efficient spatial navigation requires not only accurate spatial knowledge but also the selection of appropriate strategies. Using a novel paradigm that allowed us to distinguish between beacon, associative cue, and place strategies, we investigated the ...

A Connectionist Model of Spatial Knowledge Acquisition in a Virtual Environment [PDF]

, 2003
This paper proposes the use of neural networks as a tool for studying navigation within virtual worlds. Results indicate that network learned to predict the next step for a given trajectory, acquiring also basic spatial knowledge in terms of landmarks ...

Spatial Knowledge Acquisition for Pedestrian Navigation: A Comparative Study between Smartphones and AR Glasses

Information, 2023
Smartphone map-based pedestrian navigation is known to have a negative effect on the long-term acquisition of spatial knowledge and memorisation of landmarks.

The entorhinal spatial map integrates visual identity information of landmarks

Nature Communications
Landmarks guide navigation by providing information through their location and identity. The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is well known for representing landmark location, but whether it also encodes landmark identity remains unclear.

2D Virtual Reality-Based Exercise Improves Spatial Navigation in Institutionalized Non-robust Older Persons: A Preliminary Data Report of a Single-Blind, Randomized, and Controlled Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Spatial navigation is a prodromal dementia marker. Exercise used alongside virtual reality improves many cognitive functions, but effects on spatial navigation are still unclear.Objective: To investigate the effect of virtual reality-based ...

What can functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography reveal about the cerebral lateralization of writing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...

A consistent map in the medial entorhinal cortex supports spatial memory

Nature Communications
The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is hypothesized to function as a cognitive map for memory-guided navigation. How this map develops during learning and influences memory remains unclear. By imaging MEC calcium dynamics while mice successfully learned a
