These technical aids are used to find a way in unknown environments. Nowadays, they are already integrated into cars or available as smartphone apps. However, navigation is not necessarily successful when using such navigation aids. A highly debated but widely accepted consensus is that the increased use of navigation aids is associated with decreasing navigation skills (i.e., cognitive skills) and social interaction. In the current discussion paper, we therefore want to focus on how to reduce such (possibly) detrimental effects while engaging people in active spatial learning during the use of a navigation device. As we will demonstrate, such an active engagement can be realized rather easily and in a very simple manner: an explicit instruction (and people\u2019s will to follow it). The way the instruction and the task are presented does not seem to matter (i.e., self-read, experimenter-read, or AI-read). The most simple but decisive element for effective wayfinding may be found on the individual psychological level, rather than on the design level for artificial systems. Thus, our discussion paper wants to 1) provide ideas on how to reduce possible detrimental effects in wayfinding (short-term and long-term) and 2) stimulate research on the psychological issues in addition to the technical issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13218-023-00799-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]],"date-time":"2023-01-27T08:15:38Z","timestamp":1674807338000},"page":"325-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Navigation Aid use and Human Wayfinding: How to Engage People in Active Spatial Learning"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Huston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Hamburger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"799_CR1","first-page":"18","volume-title":"Millennials will benefit and suffer due to their hyperconnected lives","author":"J Anderson","year":"2012","unstructured":"Anderson J, Rainie L (2012) Millennials will benefit and suffer due to their hyperconnected lives.
