A novel approach to improved navigation performance through memory triggering maps

As people become more mobile, navigation systems in cars or mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in spatial orientation and navigation. However, the "cognitive map" created in the user's mind when using such navigation devices is much more fragmented, incomplete and inaccurate, compared to the mental model of space created when reading a conventional printed map. As users become more dependent on digital devices that reduce orientation skills, there is an urgent need to develop more efficient navigation systems that promote orientation skills. In order to improve the performance of navigation systems, the proposed project aims to develop the theoretical framework for…
