Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of cognitive maps envisaged by people who use smartphones to access rail-route planning information or web-based maps. The study consisted of two experiments. In Experiment 1, the accuracy of cognitive maps of Tokyo envisaged by university students was compared with the accuracy of those envisaged by older adults. Experiment 2 compared the accuracy of students’ cognitive maps at different cartographic scales. The results revealed that students exhibited inaccurate spatial knowledge at a cartographic scale that encompasses Tokyo’s rail network because of their reliance on smartphones to access geospatial information.
