Daily function depends on an ability to mentally map our environment. Environmental factors such as visibility and layout, and internal factors such as psychological stress, can challenge spatial memory and efficient navigation. Importantly, people vary dramatically in their ability to navigate flexibly and overcome such challenges. In this paper, we present an overview of “schema theory” and our view of its relevance to navigational memory research. We review several studies from our group and others, that integrate manipulations of environmental complexity and affective state in order to gain a richer understanding of the mechanisms that underlie individual differences in navigational memory. Our most recent data explicitly link such individual differences to ideas rooted in schema theory, and we discuss the potential for this work to advance our understanding of cognitive decline with aging. The data from this body of work highlight the powerful impacts of individual cognitive traits and affective states on the way people take advantage of environmental features and adopt navigational strategies.

通过图式和压力的操作和测量来理解认知映射能力

日常功能取决于在心理上映射我们的环境的能力。能见度和布局等环境因素,以及心理压力等内部因素,都会对空间记忆和高效导航提出挑战。重要的是,人们在灵活应对和克服此类挑战的能力方面存在巨大差异。在本文中,我们概述了“图式理论”及其与导航记忆研究的相关性。我们回顾了我们小组和其他人的几项研究,这些研究整合了环境复杂性和情感状态的操作,以便更深入地了解导航记忆中个体差异背后的机制。我们最近的数据明确地将这种个体差异与植根于图式理论的想法联系起来,我们讨论了这项工作的潜力,以促进我们对随着年龄增长的认知能力下降的理解。来自这项工作的数据突出了个人认知特征和情感状态对人们利用环境特征和采用导航策略的方式的强大影响。
