Humans possess a range of navigation and orientation abilities, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. All of us must move from one location to the next, following habitual routes and avoiding getting lost. While there is more to learn about how the brain underlies our ability to navigate, neuroscience and psychology have begun to converge on some important answers. In Human Spatial Navigation, four leading expertstackle fundamental and unique issues to produce the first book-length investigation into this subject.
"Synthesizing a large body of animal and human studies, this book provides a much-needed overview of the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying spatial navigation. It also describes the clinical literature in this field and shows the links between memory and navigation. The very first textbook on human spatial navigation, it will be invaluable to undergraduate students and researchers."--Thomas Wolbers, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases
