Preferred term

spatial memory  

Definition(s)

  • A student walking to a classroom across campus must be able to stay oriented with respect to known locations within the campus environment. The consequences of becoming lost may only be a minor inconvenience to the student, but the consequences were surely much greater for our ancestors when navigating home from remote food sources.
