Let’s Put the Skyscrapers on the Display—Decoupling Spatial Learning from Working Memory

摘要: Driven by the increasing evidence of negative effects on spatial learning when using automated navigation systems, academic and private sectors have become interested in strategies to improve users awareness relying such devices during navigation. Global landmarks been found support orientation devices, particularly for individuals with low abilities. However, there is no empirical how global differ from local processed stored working memory navigation, cognitive demands concurrent tasks might interfere learning. In proposed study, we aim contribute understanding these processes investigating are mentally integrated into a coherent map. We observe participants solving assisted different levels load virtual urban environment. Insights efficiency under high task will be beneficial develop future design guidelines that general, more stressful situations.
