Abstract

Summary The effects of landmark salience and direction of travel on memory for spatial location were assessed in 24 kindergarten children. The results showed that the children were significantly more accurate in recalling a spatial location when it was marked with a nearby landmark. Greatest accuracy was obtained when the available landmark was perceptually salient. Contrary to predictions, a reversed direction of travel at time of recall had no significant effect on accuracy of spatial memory.
