Turn decisions of participants under conditions in which instructed turn and landmark information were inconsistent with the actual environmental layout were assessed through simple virtual environments using a head mounted display. In particular, their tendency to prefer turn or landmark-based decisions as well as response time were correlated with measures of spatial ability, such as the FRS ... read more(German Questionnaire of Spatial Strategies) (M�_nzer & H�_lscher, 2011); Questionnaire of Spatial Representation (Pazzaglia, Comoldi, & De Beni, 2000); and an abridged version of the Need for Closure (NFC) scale (Roets & Van Hiel, 2011). Results show that decision preferences and reaction time of participants depends on the distance between turns; individual spatial abilities and need for closure; positioning of landmarks; and order of presentation of trials. This study represents one of the first in characterizing such spatially ambiguous settings. Therefore, future directions in order to better capture relationships between individual differences and decisions made under this paradigm are discussed.read less
