Abstract

Visuospatial function is a critical aspect of cognitive abilities, encompassing visual perception, attention, memory, and adaptive responses to spatial changes. This paper reviews studies on human visuospatial function, spatial navigation, and factors contributing to visuospatial impairments. After introducing fundamental concepts of visuospatial function and spatial navigation, classical methods for assessing visuospatial performance are summarized. By examining recent advances in spatial navigation studies, this paper discusses factors influencing spatial navigation capabilities and explores how spatial navigation paradigms can be used to investigate visuospatial cognitive impairments. Finally, current limitations in spatial navigation research are highlighted. Overall, the current research has not yet reached definitive conclusions regarding visuospatial aspects. However, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of visuospatial dysfunction and spatial navigation, providing valuable references for future research.

视觉空间功能障碍与空间导航的研究现状。

视觉空间功能是认知能力的一个重要方面，包括视觉感知、注意力、记忆和对空间变化的适应性反应。本文综述了人类视觉空间功能、空间导航以及造成视觉空间障碍的因素的研究进展。在介绍了视觉空间功能和空间导航的基本概念后，总结了视觉空间性能评估的经典方法。本文回顾了空间导航研究的最新进展，讨论了影响空间导航能力的因素，并探讨了如何利用空间导航范式来研究视觉空间认知障碍。最后，指出了当前空间导航研究的局限性。总的来说，目前的研究还没有在视觉空间方面得出明确的结论。然而，本文旨在加深对视觉空间功能障碍和空间导航的认识，为未来的研究提供有价值的参考。
