It is well known that older adults have an impaired spatial performance than young; but the role of age and visuo-spatial factors in learning a route from a map or navigation has not been investigating throughout yet. After performing visuo-spatial tasks and questionnaires, young, young-old and old-old adults learned a map and a video and then performed map drawing and route repetition tasks. Age, visuo-spatial abilities and self-assessed visuo-spatial inclinations combine together to influence route learning.

Abstract
It is well known that older adults have an impaired spatial performance than young; but the role of age and visuo-spatial factors in learning a route from a map or navigation has not been investigating throughout yet. After performing visuo-spatial tasks and questionnaires, young, young-old and old-old adults learned a map and a video and then performed map drawing and route repetition tasks. Age, visuo-spatial abilities and self-assessed visuo-spatial inclinations combine together to influence route learning.
