“…A second hypothesis would be that individuals with intellectual disability differed in the strategy they used during the learning phase. Learning new routes is often described as a strategic behaviour involving controlled processes (Allen & Willenborg, 1998;Cornell, Hadley, Sterling, Chan, & Boechler, 2001;Montello, 2005). Some of the individuals with intellectual disability may have learnt simple associations between landmarks and motor responses, while the others used explicit strategies to maintain their orientation over the travelled distances (for example:…”

The ability to learn routes though a virtual environment (VE) and to make novel shortcut between two locations were assessed in eighteen adults with intellecual disability and eighteen adults without intellectual disability matched on chronological age. Participants explored two routes (AB and AC) until they reached the learning criterion. Then, they were placed in B and were asked to find the shortest way to C (BC, five trials). Participants in both groups could learn the routes, but most of the participants with intellectual disability could not find the shortest route between B and C. However, the results also revealed important differences in the individuals with intellectual disability, with some participants having more efficient wayfinding behaviour than others. Individuals with intellectual disability may differ in the kind of spatial knowledge they extract from the environment and/or in the strategy they used to learn the routes.

“…A study by the Association for Childhood Education International found that playing in parks and other green spaces helps the development of children's muscle strength, co-ordination, language, cognitive thinking, and reasoning abilities (Isenberg & Quisenberry, 2002). It has further been revealed that observing green spaces such as forests gives children opportunities to enhance their analytical and strategic thinking, and improve their cognitive development (Cornell et al, 2001). This promotes improved quality of life for children through supporting their healthy physical development.…”

Abstract:Improving citizens' quality of life is a stated priority of many governments in both the global north and south. However, efforts to achieve this often focus on socio-economic measures, with limited attention to the contributions of environmental variables such as green spaces. This paper sought to bridge this knowledge gap by tracing the linkages between green spaces and quality of life, and how these connections can inform policy development in order to assist governments to achieve positive outcomes for quality of life. The paper took a theoretical approach by utilising the systematic review method. In all, 452 publications were included in this review, and rigorous content analysis was employed to retrieve relevant data. Green spaces were found to provide various social, economic, and environmental benefits, which in turn improve physical, psychological, emotional, social, and material wellbeing of individuals and thus enhance quality of life. It is therefore strongly recommended that conservation of green spaces should be integrated into national health, environmental and socio-economic policies in order to promote effective utilisation of green spaces to enhance citizens' overall quality of life.

“…Además, se descubrió que a partir de los ocho años, los niños comienzan a utilizar la estructuración espacial como sistema de navegación en los entornos naturales (Cornell et al, 2001). Si observamos los contenidos descritos para Educación Física por el Real Decreto 1513/2006 de enseñanzas mínimas, podemos ver cómo coincide el tratamiento de la estructuración espacial con estas edades.…”
