How was it conducted?

The study conducted this research by showing patients a certain route and then followed up by asking them to recreate the path via turns and landmarks.  Describing the testing, Scott Moffat, PhD, mentions that, “These assessments have included real-world navigation tasks out on the street or in hospital corridors and also using virtual environments -- computer mock-ups of real world environments.”
