Entropy of city street networks linked to future spatial navigation ability

TL;DR: This paper found that people who grew up outside cities were better at navigating in environments that were topologically similar to where they grew up, while growing up in cities with a low street network entropy (for example, Chicago) led to better results at video game levels with a regular layout.
Cultural determinants of the gap between self-estimated navigation ability and wayfinding performance: evidence from 46 countries
S. Walkowiak,Aline Coutrot,Martina Hegarty,Pablo Fernandez Velasco,Jan M. Wiener,Ron Dalton,Christoph Hölscher,M. Hornberger,Hugo J. Spiers,Eleyse Manley +9 more
TL;DR: This article explored whether cultural dimensions might relate to the extent to which populations in 46 countries overestimate or underestimate their cognitive abilities in the domain of spatial navigation, using the Sea Hero Quest navigation test and a large sample (N = 383,187).
From overconfidence to task dropout in a spatial navigation test: evidence for the Dunning-Kruger effect across 46 countries
S. Walkowiak,Aline Coutrot,J. M. Wiener,M. Hornberger,E. Manley,H. J. Spiers +5 more
TL;DR: Poor wayfinding performance, while being overconfident, was one of the strongest predictors of task dropout and the Dunning-Kruger bias on participants dropout existed universally across all countries in the authors' data.

TL;DR: Overall, this study clarifies the factors associated with spatial ability and shows that left-handedness is not associated with either a benefit or a deficit in spatial ability.

Handedness and its association with education and spatial navigation assessed in over 400,000 participants across 41 countries
Aline Coutrot,Hope T. Oloye,Jan M. Wiener,Ron Dalton,Christoph Hoelscher,Ed Manley,M. Hornberger,Hugo J. Spiers +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a large-scale mobile app Sea Hero Quest to test the navigation ability of a large number of participants across many different countries and found no reliable evidence for any difference in spatial ability between left and right-handers across all countries.
