Young Children's Spatial Orientation with Respect to Multiple Targets When Walking without Vision.

Rieser, John J.; Rider, Elizabeth A.

Developmental Psychology, v27 n1 p97-107 Jan 1991

Four experiments examined the spatial orientation of children who walked while wearing a blindfold. Children and adults viewed a target, were guided blindfolded to a new point, and then aimed a pointer at the target. Route complexity, but not number of targets or time delay, affected spatial orientation. Some age differences were observed. (BC)
