abstract = {Ageing is associated with declines in spatial memory,
however, the source of these deficits remains unclear. Here
we used eye-tracking to investigate age-related differences
in spatial encoding strategies and the cognitive processes
underlying the age-related deficits in spatial memory tasks.
To do so we asked young and older participants to encode the
locations of objects in a virtual room shown as a picture on
a computer screen. The availability and utility of
room-based landmarks were manipulated by removing landmarks,
presenting identical landmarks rendering them uninformative,
or by presenting unique landmarks that could be used to
encode object locations. In the test phase, participants
viewed a second picture of the same room taken from the same
(0°) or a different perspective (30°) and judged whether
the objects occupied the same or different locations in the
room. We found that the introduction of a perspective shift
and swapping of objects between encoding and testing
impaired performance in both age groups. Furthermore, our
results revealed that although older adults performed the
task as well as younger participants, they relied on
different visual encoding strategies to solve the task.
Specifically, gaze analysis revealed that older adults
showed a greater preference towards a more categorical
encoding strategy in which they formed relationships between
objects and landmarks.},
