Abstract

Spatial navigation is more difficult and effortful for older than younger individuals, a shift which occurs for a variety of neurological, physical, and cognitive reasons associated with aging. Despite a large body of evidence documenting age-related deficits in spatial navigation, comparatively less research addresses how to facilitate more effective navigation behavior for older adults. Since navigation challenges arise for a variety of reasons in old age, a one-size-fits-all solution is unlikely to work. Here, we introduce a framework for the variety of spatial navigation challenges faced in aging, which we call LOST-Location, Orientation, Spatial mapping, and Transit. The LOST framework builds on evidence from the cognitive neuroscience of spatial navigation, which reveals distinct components underpinning human wayfinding. We evaluate research on navigational aids-devices and depictions-which help people find their way around; and we reflect on how navigation aids solve (or fail to solve) specific wayfinding difficulties faced by older adults. In summary, we emphasize a bespoke approach to improving spatial navigation in aging, which focuses on tailoring navigation solutions to specific navigation challenges. Our hope is that by providing precise support to older navigators, navigation opportunities can facilitate independence and exploration, while minimizing the danger of becoming lost. We conclude by delineating critical knowledge gaps in how to improve older adults' spatial navigation capacities that the novel LOST framework could guide to address. This article is categorized under: Psychology > Development and Aging Neuroscience > Cognition Neuroscience > Behavior.

迷失:支持和增强老龄化空间导航的概念框架。
对于老年人来说,空间导航比年轻人更困难、更费力,这种转变是由于与衰老相关的各种神经、身体和认知原因造成的。尽管有大量证据记录了与年龄相关的空间导航缺陷,但相对较少的研究涉及如何促进老年人更有效的导航行为。由于老年人的各种原因导致导航挑战,因此一刀切的解决方案不太可能奏效。在这里,我们为老龄化过程中面临的各种空间导航挑战介绍了一个框架,我们称之为LOST定位、定向、空间映射和运输。LOST框架建立在空间导航认知神经科学的证据之上,揭示了支撑人类寻路的不同组成部分。我们评估了对导航辅助设备和描述的研究,这些设备和描述可以帮助人们找到周围的路;我们反思导航辅助设备如何解决(或未能解决)老年人面临的特定寻路困难。总之,我们强调一种定制的方法来改善老龄化中的空间导航,该方法侧重于为特定的导航挑战量身定制导航解决方案。我们希望,通过为年长的航海家提供精确的支持,航行机会可以促进独立和探索,同时最大限度地减少迷路的危险。最后,我们描绘了如何提高老年人空间导航能力的关键知识差距,新的LOST框架可以指导解决这些差距。本文分类如下:心理学>发展与衰老神经科学>认知神经科学>行为。
