abstract = {Flexible spatial navigation depends on cognitive mapping, a
function that declines with increasing age. In young adults,
a brief period of postnavigation rest promotes the
consolidation and integration of spatial memories into
accurate cognitive maps. We examined (1) whether rest
promotes spatial memory consolidation and integration in
older adults; and (2) whether the magnitude of the rest
benefit changes with increasing age. Young and older adults
learned a route through a virtual environment, followed by a
10-minute delay comprising either wakeful rest or a
perceptual task, and a subsequent cognitive mapping task,
requiring the pointing to landmarks from different
locations. Pointing accuracy was lower in the older than
younger adults. However, there was a comparable rest-related
enhancement in pointing accuracy in the 2 age groups.
Together our findings suggest that (1) the age-related
decline in cognitive mapping cannot be explained by
increased consolidation interference in older adults; and
(2) as we grow older, rest continues to support the
consolidation and integration of spatial memories.},
