In ergonomic research, spatial ability tests using paper-and-pencil tests sometimes do not show a correlation with participants’ navigation performance. Wayfinding games have potential quantify spatial ability. This study organized a 42-person experiment that examined the association between participants’ navigational mobile game performance and spatial ability test results. The results indicated that participants’ digital traces are the better predictor of self-reported sense of direction compared to time-based performance. Meanwhile, mobile phone wayfinding games could also assess human spatial memory and have the potential to develop tasks to assess spatial abilities.

摘要

In ergonomic research, spatial ability tests using paper-and-pencil tests sometimes do not show a correlation with participants’ navigation performance. Wayfinding games have potential quantify spatial ability. This study organized a 42-person experiment that examined the association between participants’ navigational mobile game performance and spatial ability test results. The results indicated that participants’ digital traces are the better predictor of self-reported sense of direction compared to time-based performance. Meanwhile, mobile phone wayfinding games could also assess human spatial memory and have the potential to develop tasks to assess spatial abilities.
