Gender differences in navigation performance are a recurrent and controversial topic. Previous research suggests that men outperform women tasks exhibit different strategies. Here, we investigate whether motivation to complete the task moderates relationship between gender. Participants learned locations of landmarks novel virtual city. During learning, participants could trigger top-down map depicted their current position landmarks. testing, were divided into control treatment groups not...
Virtual reality (VR) experiments are increasingly employed because of their internal and external validity compared to real-world observation laboratory experiments, respectively.VR is especially useful for geographic visualizations investigations spatial behavior.In behavior research, VR provides a platform studying the relationship between navigation physiological measures (e.g., skin conductance, heart rate, blood pressure).Specifically, allow researchers address novel questions constrain...
