Mindy Lingo; Belkis Choiseul-Praslin; Clare Papay; Chelsea VanHorn Stinnett; L. Danielle Roberts-Dahm – Institute for Community Inclusion, 2024
Starting college can be an exciting time for students. College can also present new challenges, like learning unwritten rules, following unfamiliar procedures, and navigating new environments. Many students, including those with intellectual disability, benefit from explicit campus navigation and acclimation training in their new campus community.…

Lei, Xuehui; Mou, Weimin; Zhang, Lei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
This study investigated the extent to which people can develop a global representation of local environments through across-boundary navigation. Participants learned objects' locations in two misaligned rectangular rooms in an immersive virtual environment. After learning, they adopted a local view in one room and judged directions of objects…

Laurent, Xavier; Fresen, Jill; Burholt, Stephen – International Journal on E-Learning, 2018
This article describes a usability evaluation that was conducted among student users of improved learning areas (sites) designed as part of the WebLearn Improved Student Experience (WISE) project conducted at Oxford University (UK). WebLearn is the university's internal brand for the Sakai open source virtual learning environment (VLE). The…

Starrett, Michael J.; Stokes, Jared D.; Huffman, Derek J.; Ferrer, Emilio; Ekstrom, Arne D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
An important question regards how we use environmental boundaries to anchor spatial representations during navigation. Behavioral and neurophysiological models appear to provide conflicting predictions, and this question has been difficult to answer because of technical challenges with testing navigation in novel, large-scale, realistic spatial…

He, Qiliang; McNamara, Timothy P.; Bodenheimer, Bobby; Klippel, Alexander – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
In the current study, we investigated the ways in which the acquisition and transfer of spatial knowledge were affected by (a) the type of spatial relations predominately experienced during learning (routes determined by walkways vs. straight-line paths between locations); (b) environmental complexity; and (c) the availability of rotational…

Cojean, Salomé; Jamet, Eric – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Information seeking (IS) has become a critical activity in video-based environments. Up to now, the effects of support on information seeking (i.e., scaffolding) have seldom been assessed. The twofold aim of the current study was to (a) assess the effects of scaffolding on IS in videos and (b) determine the characteristics of the users' mental…

Kelly, Jonathan W.; Carpenter, Shana K.; Sjolund, Lori A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Studies of the "testing effect" have shown that retrieval significantly improves learning. However, most of these studies have been restricted to simple types of declarative verbal knowledge. Five experiments were designed to explore whether testing improves acquisition of route knowledge, which has a procedural component consisting of…

Gao, Shang; Krogstie, John; Thingstad, Trond; Tran, Hoang – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2015
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a mobile service, based on anonymous location-based data, to help students find available reading rooms on a university campus. To evaluate this mobile service, both a usability test and a technology acceptance test were carried out. Design/methodology/approach: The research followed a design…

Buckley, Matthew G.; Smith, Alastair D.; Haselgrove, Mark – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
An influential theory of spatial navigation states that the boundary shape of an environment is preferentially encoded over and above other spatial cues, such that it is impervious to interference from alternative sources of information. We explored this claim with 3 intradimensional--extradimensional shift experiments, designed to examine the…
