Strategies of Orientation in Environmental Spaces
Orientation in space is fundamental for all humans and most
other animals. Accomplishing goals often requires moving through
environmental spaces such as forests, houses, or cities. Several
mechanisms were evolved in order to solve these orientation problems,
including spatial updating, route navigation, and reorientation by
landmarks and geometry. Human orientation capabilities build upon these
and other fundamental mechanisms. Compared to non?human animals,
humans demonstrate a greater flexibility during orientation tasks. They
are able to apply various strategies to fulfil one orientation
goal, such as navigating to a known location. In this work, we
examined which orientation strategies human navigators apply and
how efficient these strategies are. We focused on memory strategies
for encoding spatial knowledge and on planning strategies especially
during wayfinding.
