Egocentric Perspectives on Geographic Orientation

Egocentricity acts both to orient and disorient us in space. It is manifest in different forms through childhood and adolescence; and although we tend to outgrow it, it can persist and even reappear in old age. This paper reviews some of the literature on egocentricity, emphasizing its influence on styles of geographic orientation and related wayfinding ability. A model of geographic orientation is constructed from the perspective of cross-cultural research on field dependence and cerebral specialization
