About Hugo Spiers

Hugo Spiers, With an exceptional h-index of 47 and a recent h-index of 41 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University College London, specializes in the field of Spatial Cognition, Spatial Memory, Amnesia, Spatial Navigation, Environmental Neuroscience.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Shorter self-reported sleep duration is associated with worse virtual spatial navigation performance in men

Real and virtual environments have comparable spatial memory distortions after scale and geometric transformations

Video gaming, but not reliance on GPS, is associated with spatial navigation performance

London taxi drivers exploit neighbourhood boundaries for hierarchical route planning

A neural circuit for spatial orientation derived from brain lesions

Expert Navigators Deploy Rational Hierarchical Priorization Over Predictive Maps For Large-Scale Real-World Planning

Individuals learning to drive solo before age 18 have superior spatial navigation ability compared with those who learn later

Wayfinding across ocean and tundra: what traditional cultures teach us about navigation
