Question

Once Natalie started to drive, she had a hard time figuring out which highways went to which towns in her neighborhood. But after a month of driving around these highways without directions, she could navigate the local highways with ease. Natalie was able to build a ______ Blank to navigate her neighborhood.

Answer 1

cognitive map

Step-by-step explanation:

A cognitive map is some sort of mental representation with the help of which we are able to gain spatial awareness. With the help of a cognitive map a person is able to store, recall, acquire, code, and decode information. The processes described help us to gain spatial awareness.

Research suggests that cognitive mapping is the function of the hippocampus.

As Natalie keeps driving in her neighborhood her cognitive map of the place keeps getting better. So, after a month of driving around these highways without directions, she could navigate the local highways with ease.
