  • Education Is Positively and Causally Linked With Spatial Navigation Ability Across the Lifespan

    Open AccessAntoine Coutrot, Rogier Kievit et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2025

    There is consistent evidence for a positive association between education and a wide range of cognitive abilities. In particular, spatial abilities have been shown to be strongly related to academic achievement. However, studying this association is complex as both education and spatial abilities are modulated by multivariate sociodemographic factors, likely to vary across countries. Most previous studies relied on small sample sizes or were rest…

  • London taxi drivers exploit neighbourhood boundaries for hierarchical route planning

    Open AccessEva-Maria Griesbauer, Eva‐Maria Griesbauer et al.ARTICLECognition2025

    Humans show an impressive ability to plan over complex situations and environments. A classic approach to explaining such planning has been tree-search algorithms which search through alternative state sequences for the most efficient path through states. However, this approach fails when the number of states is large due to the time to compute all possible sequences. Hierarchical route planning has been proposed as an alternative, offering a com…
