Age-related Differences in Associative Learning of Landmarks and Heading Directions in a Virtual Navigation Task
Previous studies have showed that spatial memory declines with age but have not clarified the relevance of different landmark cues for specifying heading directions among different age groups. This study examined differences between younger, middle-aged and older adults in route learning and memory...
