Can 5-6 Year Old Children Orientate Themselves in a Cave?
Jovignot, Francois
Scientific Journal of Orienteering, v11 n2 p64-75 Aut 1995
Spatial capacities of 36 children ages 5-6 were tested in 3 experiments involving an electronic maze, map training and testing, and finding the way out of a cave using a map. All subjects could use simple maps; this ability improved with age. However, no subject navigated the cave without help, perhaps because of stress or task complexity. (SV)
