It seems intuitively obvious that active exploration of a new environment will lead to better
spatial learning than will passive exposure. However, the literature on this issue is decidedly …

It seems intuitively obvious that active exploration of a new environment would lead to better
spatial learning than would passive visual exposure. It is unclear, however, which …

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 …

It is known that active exploration of a new environment leads to better spatial learning than
does passive visual exposure. We ask whether specific components of active learning …

Spatial skills are known to vary widely among normal individuals. This project was designed
to address whether these individual differences are differentially related to large-scale …

In natural and virtual environments (VE) spatial learning depends on several factors
including the spatial goal, environmental complexity and mode of learning. A factor …

Existing frameworks for explaining spatial knowledge acquisition in a new environment
propose either stage-like or continuous development. To examine the spatial microgenesis …

Three experiments using human participants examined a major prediction derived from
cognitive mapping theory of place learning: In the absence of proximal cues, place …

How individual differences in visuospatial thinking relate to environment learning from
navigation is of growing interest and needs to be approached systematically. Here, a sample …

Most psychometric tests of spatial ability are paper-and-pencil tasks at the “figural” scale of
space, in that they involve inspecting, imagining or mentally transforming small shapes or …
