Sense-of-Direction: Brain, Learning & Experience

This podcast delves into sense-of-direction (SOD) and spatial knowledge acquisition, examining individual differences, the neural basis in brain regions like the hippocampus and parietal lobe, and the role of learning intentionality. It highlights how experience and cultural factors shape navigation skills, suggesting SOD abilities operate automatically and can be improved through training, while GPS use may lead to skill decline.
