Jessie Bullens http://wayfinding.fss.uu.nl The role of landmarks in the development of object location memory

- Introduction - Egocentric ‘snapshot’ Local landmark cues Distal landmark cues: allocentric representation Egocentric spatial updating Object Location Memory & Orientation

- Study 1 - Room cues + - Table cues +-+- Same view Room cues + - Table cues +-+- Diff. view
5
- Results Study 1- Radial error: age effect, children 5 years of age differed from 7 and 10-year-olds Angular error: no age effect > table cues available > room cues available when viewpoint changed

- Results Study 3 - children 5 and 7 years of age performed less accurate than adults, but parallel processing of landmark and boundary children: distance > angle adults: angle > distance adults performed better on the boundary-related object, difference between VR and real life?
12
- Conclusion - Children 5 years: do spontaneously use local cues when cues are placed in conflict, but are able to (learn to) process local and distal cues in parallel Children 7 years: ‘transitional phase’ Children 10 years: do spontaneously use distal cues for (re)orientation
