An influential theory of spatial navigation states that the boundary shape of an environment is preferentially encoded over and above other spatial cues, such that it is impervious to interference from alternative sources of information. We explored... Read More about Shape shifting: Local landmarks interfere with navigation by, and recognition of, global shape.
