摘要

空间导航是一项复杂的技能，它依赖于认知的许多方面。我们的研究旨在阐明工作记忆在空间导航中的作用，特别是语言和视觉空间工作记忆的潜在独立贡献。我们利用个体差异来理解工作记忆在不同类型的导航者之间的差异，以及语言和视觉空间工作记忆的预测效用。数据分析来自253名健康的年轻成年人。参与者完成了多项口头和视觉空间工作记忆测试，以及一项名为“虚拟记忆”的空间导航任务。我们发现，更好的导航员可能更多地依赖于视觉空间工作记忆。此外，使用相对权重分析，我们发现与语言工作记忆相比，视觉空间工作记忆占了空间导航变异的大部分。我们的研究结果表明，在空间导航的背景下，工作记忆的个体差异是特定领域的，视觉空间工作记忆是主要的贡献者。

Individual differences in spatial navigation and working memory

Spatial navigation is a complex skill that relies on many aspects of cognition. Our study aims to clarify the role of working memory in spatial navigation, and particularly, the potentially separate contributions of verbal and visuospatial working memory. We leverage individual differences to understand how working memory differs among types of navigators and the predictive utility of verbal and visuospatial working memory. Data were analyzed from N = 253 healthy, young adults. Participants completed multiple measures of verbal and visuospatial working memory and a spatial navigation task called Virtual Silcton. We found that better navigators may rely more on visuospatial working memory. Additionally, using a relative weights analysis, we found that visuospatial working memory accounts for a large majority of variance in spatial navigation when compared to verbal working memory. Our results suggest individual differences in working memory are domain-specific in this context of spatial navigation, with visuospatial working memory being the primary contributor.
