Supporting route learning in older adults: the role of imagery strategy.

Conclusion: These findings newly suggest that using imagery helps to sustain older adults' route learning ability, especially in spatial recall tasks demanding the active manipulation of spatial information learnt, such as locating landmarks previously encountered while navigating a path. These results are discussed within the aging and spatial cognition frameworks. PMID: 32067468 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
