Abstract:
While the role of landmarks is well documented, little research has focused on the characteristics that allow landmarks to benefit the construction of spatial representations. Although their visual saliency has already been explored, cognitive saliency deserves attention. It could benefit to older people who experience decline in their spatial abilities. To explore this issue, young and older participants watched virtual itineraries including landmarks varying in their visual and cognitive saliency. They then performed various landmark and direction-related tasks.
