What do we know about aging and spatial cognition? Reviews and perspectives

Highlights ► Visuospatial perception, image maintenance and image scanning are relatively well preserved with age. ► Image generation, rotation and metric properties processing are impaired with age. ► The elderly perform more poorly than younger subjects in only a part of the components of spatial...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Visuospatial perception, image maintenance and image scanning are relatively well preserved with age. ► Image generation, rotation and metric properties processing are impaired with age. ► The elderly perform more poorly than younger subjects in only a part of the components of spatial memory. ► The elderly perform more poorly than younger subjects in spatial navigation tasks. ► Spatial cognition is underpinned by brain structures that are particularly vulnerable to normal cerebral aging.
