The Effects of Acoustic Turn-by-turn Navigation on Wayfinding
Abstract
This study examined the impact of using an acoustic turn-by-turn navigation device on wayfinding. Participants used a driving simulator to traverse the same route twice. They either traveled both times without the guidance or used a turn-by-turn navigation on the first drive and then replicating the route from memory on the second drive. Wayfinding performance was assessed by using route travel time and an assessment of scene recognition Results show that using a turn-by-turn navigation system negates route learning and impairs scene recognition. These findings suggest that using a navigation system while driving creates inattention blindness, a failure to “see” elements in the environment.

Potential negative effects following extensive use of cognitive tools have been discussed, such as impaired scene recognition after using navigation systems.
“potential negative effects following their extensive use have been discussed for cognitive tools (e.g., impaired scene recognition after using navigation systems; Fenech et al., 2010).”

Frequent externalisation of internal cognitive processes leads to an impoverishment of the corresponding internal abilities.
“a common concern states that frequent externalisation of internal cognitive processes leads to an impoverishment of the corresponding internal abilities. This concern has received empirical support from findings on spatial memory (e.g., Fenech et al., 2010; Gardony et al., 2015), problem solving (Moritz et al., 2018, 2020; O’Hara & Payne, 1998; Van Nimwegen & Van Oostendorp, 2009), as well as the”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
