- Disorientation and impaired wayfinding are often the first signs of neurodegenerative diseases.
|
|
|
- Understanding the factors that affect wayfinding, is crucial in order to appropriately cope with
|
|
|
- the ageing population.Here we examined the relevance of sociodemographic determinants and vestibular performance on
|
|
|
- wayfinding strategies in a German representative sample. It is the first time that navigational strategies
|
|
|
- are tested across the entire population. We demonstrate that gender, age, regional urbanization and
|
|
|
- education were relevant sociodemographic determinants for wayfinding and that vestibular decrease,
|
|
|
- measured by vertigo/dizziness and the self-assessment of sense of balance, led to reduced wayfinding ability
|
|
|
- scores in general. In addition people either combine both wayfinding techniques or use no wayfinding strategy,
|
|
|
- instead of choosing one strategy over the other. Contrary to findings from 30 years ago, younger individuals no
|
|
|
- longer have a clear navigation strategy.
