A Navigation Task Designed

The Prompt

Design a spatial navigation task — digital, physical, or paper-based — that could generate measurable data about wayfinding ability, drawing on the checkpoint-and-flare model of Sea Hero Quest. Specify the environment (a building, a neighbourhood, a virtual space), the task the participant must complete, the data collected (route efficiency, time, errors, strategy type), and what the task is intended to reveal about spatial cognition. If possible, pilot the task with at least one participant and record the results.

Completion Criteria

A written specification of the task (environment, instructions, data collected, intended finding), and — if piloted — the date, the participant count, and a short account of what the pilot revealed.
