The ability to navigate is central to nearly all meaningful activities in which older adults participate, promoting both independence and health. Loss of navigation ability is associated with early-stage age-related brain and body disorders. To address the diverse challenges associated with aging populations, tools must be developed to maintain, support, and assess navigation in real-world applications—tools grounded in reliable and valid research. This chapter presents the “Triadic Navigation Framework,” a platform that can be used to guide and stimulate translational navigation research in aging. Its intent is to foster deeper consideration of research design, enhance collaboration among researchers working across species, and better identify the real-world needs of aging populations that research must address. Opportunities for future work are highlighted, as are recommendations to enhance navigation research quality. 353 - Clinical and Health Care Research (POF4-353) G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353 POF4-353 POF IV 0 Dataset connected to CrossRef Book Series, Journals: pub.dzne.de Cheng, Ken 0000-0002-4913-2691 1 Editor Newton, Coco 2 Barnes, Carol A. 3 Flanagin, Virginia L. 4 Gillespie, Anna K. 5 Hornberger, Michael 6 Moffat, Scott 7 Schinazi, Victor R. 8 Segen, Vladislava P:(DE-2719)9001409 9 dzne Wiener, Jan 10 Weisberg, Steven M. 11 Wolbers, Thomas P:(DE-2719)2810583 12 Last author dzne 10.1007/978-3-032-20563-6_16 http://pub.dzne.de/record/285921/files/DZNE-2026-00367.pdf Restricted http://pub.dzne.de/record/285921/files/DZNE-2026-00367.pdf?subformat=pdfa pdfa Restricted Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen I:(DE-588)1065079516 DZNE 9 P:(DE-2719)9001409 Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen I:(DE-588)1065079516 DZNE 12 P:(DE-2719)2810583 DE-HGF Gesundheit Neurodegenerative Diseases G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350 G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353 G:(DE-HGF)POF4 G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300 G:(DE-HGF)POF Clinical and Health Care Research 0 I:(DE-2719)1310002 AG Wolbers Aging, Cognition and Technology 0 contb EDITORS VDBINPRINT I:(DE-2719)1310002 UNRESTRICTED
