spatial navigation

Spatial navigation refers to the process through which individuals orient themselves and move through their environment. It involves understanding the layout of spaces, recognizing landmarks, and recalling routes to reach destinations. This ability combines sensory input, memory, and cognitive mapping, allowing us to navigate familiar and unfamiliar places, whether walking through a neighborhood or finding our way in a new city. It plays a crucial role in daily activities, contributing to our sense of direction and overall spatial awareness.
