It may decline with age

What is true of egocentric navigation *

1 point

It represents location in respect to the body

It is the ability to manipulate objects from a stationary point of view

It may decline with age

Landmarks help to create a mental map

Entorhinal cortex

Perirhinal cortex

Frontal cortex

What does grid-like spatial firing mean? *

1 point

Rhythmic response of cells in spatial navigation which reflects a grid

Random firing of neurons when you read a book

Rhythmic response of cells when learning a new skill

Changes in the hippocampus

What was true of the taxi drivers in London? *

1 point

Using GPS helped them to become better drivers

Prior to GPS, they exhibited larger hippocampi

Prior to GPS, they exhibited smaller hippocampi

Using GPS, they were less efficient at their jobs

When offered a GPS option, what was NOT an outcome noticed in our reading? *

1 point

GPS resulted in more errors

GPS users walked more slowly

GPS users showed less memory on terrain and topography

GPS resulted in a larger hippocampus

What may be a downfall of relying on technology for navigation

1 point

Decrease in size of hippocampus

Less able to create mental maps

Increase risk for psychiatric disorder

All of the above

Clear selection

How are men and women different in navigation (according to the reading) *

1 point

Men rely more on landmarks

Women are better at finding hidden objects

Men may overcomplicate navigational skills

Women are less likely to make judgement calls in navigation

No grade: How much do you rely on GPS for directions? *

On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being never to 5 being always

Never rely on GPS

always rely on GPS
