Y’all! Ece just published her FIRST first author paper. This one is fun ⬇️
🧭 What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about navigation aids? A compass, maybe? Maps, GPS? These tools give us quick access to information about where to go. But do they actually improve how we remember spaces?

Thrilled to share this work in Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications! 🔗 https://t.co/2BrNmOWTQu

Across two experiments, we found no evidence that these cues enhanced spatial memory. In other words, the aids we tested did not improve learning of the environment or serve as a reference direction to anchor mental representations.

In our study, we tested whether global reference directions - via a compass or a mountain range - help people form more accurate representations of large-scale virtual environments using immersive VR with an omnidirectional treadmill.

Not me thinking this has to be satire coming from a tenured Stanford professor cause this crazyyyyyy

A @ScannLab preprint and first first-author submission from star grad student @yukselace!
Would a compass help you learn a large-scale environment better?🧭 What about a mountain range?🏔️ Our results show that this is not the way to enhance spatial memory. See our (my first 🥹) preprint with @stevenmweisberg & @zachboogaart! https://t.co/hfnVYlItP9

Exploratory results revealed that participants did not use either cue as a reference direction (even though they knew where the direction was). Our results inform how external cues are incorporated (or not) into cognitive representations. 🛣️

Exp1- no difference in navigation performance between compass and control conditions. Exp2- no difference in participants’ environmental knowledge between a compass condition or a mountain range, which provided a global directional cue in a more salient and concrete form❌

In two experiments, we evaluated -whether people learned a large-scale, immersive virtual environment better when provided with a global reference direction, -whether participants used the provided reference direction to anchor their mental representation of the environment.
