While a general stereotype exists that men are better at navigating than women, experimental evidence indicates that men and women differ in their use of spatial strategies, and this preference determines gender-differences. When both environmental geometry and landmark cues are available, men...

Jonathan W Kelly; Timothy P McNamara; Bobby Bodenheimer; Thomas H Carr; John J Rieser // Psychonomic Bulletin & Review;Feb2009, Vol. 16 Issue 1, p176
Two experiments explored the role of environmental cues in maintaining spatial orientation (sense of self-location and direction) during locomotion. Of particular interest was the importance of geometric cues (provided by environmental surfaces) and featural cues (nongeometric properties...
