A picture or a thousand words: Neither improve spatial knowledge of a complex virtual environment

2022-11-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>External representations powerfully support and augment complex human behavior. When navigating, people often consult external representations to help them find the way to go, but do maps or verbal instructions improve spatial knowledge or support effective wayfinding? Here, we examine spatial knowledge with and without external representations in two experiments where participants learn a complex virtual envir...
