      abstract     = {Navigational abilities decline with age, but the cognitive
                      underpinnings of this cognitive decline remain partially
                      understood. Navigation is guided by landmarks and
                      self-motion cues, that we address when estimating our
                      location. These sources of spatial information are often
                      associated with noise and uncertainty, thus posing a
                      challenge during navigation. To overcome this challenge,
                      humans and other species rely on navigational cues according
                      to their reliability: reliable cues are highly weighted and
                      therefore strongly influence our spatial behavior, compared
                      to less reliable ones. We hypothesize that older adults do
                      not efficiently weigh spatial cues, and accordingly, the
                      reliability levels of navigational cues may not modulate
                      their spatial behavior, as with younger adults. To test
                      this, younger and older adults performed a virtual
                      navigational task, subject to modified reliability of
                      landmarks and self-motion cues. The findings revealed that
                      while increased reliability of spatial cues improved
                      navigational performance across both age groups, older
                      adults exhibited diminished sensitivity to changes in
                      landmark reliability. The findings demonstrate a cognitive
                      mechanism that could lead to impaired navigation abilities
                      in older adults.},
