It's anecdotal, of course, but I always notice vast diffference in spatial conceptualization between people who have played first-person videogames set in complex 3d environments and those who have not. Me and my gamer friends could easily draw you an aproximate map of a location after being there once, correctly oriented by cardinal directions.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoAnecdote to support: With our first car that has sat nav, I instantly adjusted to it as a "minimap" in the peripheral vision. Though of course, I wonder if I am more likely to have an accident because I glance at it without thinking. Mind you, I may also have internalised the art of "knowing when to look at the minimap" IE when do I need to pay attention to what.
