abstract = {Navigation abilities decline with age, partly due to
deficits in numerous component processes. Impaired switching
between these various processes (i.e., switching
navigational strategies) is also likely to contribute to
age-related navigational impairments. We tested young and
old participants on a virtual plus maze task (VPM),
expecting older participants to exhibit a specific strategy
switching deficit, despite unimpaired learning of
allocentric (place) and egocentric (response) strategies
following reversals within each strategy. Our initial
results suggested that older participants performed worse
during place trial blocks but not response trial blocks, as
well as in trial blocks following a strategy switch but not
those following a reversal. However, we then separated trial
blocks by both strategy and change type, revealing that
these initial results were due to a more specific deficit in
switching to the place strategy. Place reversals and
switches to response, as well as response reversals, were
unaffected. We argue that this specific 'switch-to-place'
deficit could account for apparent impairments in both
navigational strategy switching and allocentric processing
and contributes more generally to age-related decline in
navigation.},
