Hi, Lorraine,
LP> And Innu do especially well in tests of shape-recognition because of
LP> having learnt to recognize landmarks.
As a sort of aside, I've noticed that people who were raised in a city
orient themselves by landmarks differently than those who were raised in
the country. I am a supporter of a nature sanctuary about 40 miles out
of town. They have events such as workshops out there off and on and
give directions to people to get there. The people who get lost and end
up in the next county are the city people. The country people never have
a problem finding it. I didn't really think about it much until I had to
go out with a friend of mine a number of times until she learned the way.
I finally decided that people who live in the country recognize landmarks
differently than urban folks and are more used to moving around in spaces
that don't have wall-to-wall buildings, blocks, and straight streets.
Take care,
Robin
