Research Interests:
Dr. Stephen C. Hirtle directs the Spatial Information Research Group at the University of Pittsburgh, which conducts research on the structure of cognitive maps, navigation in real and virtual environments, and models for spatial cognition. In particular, our lab is interested in the role of semantic concepts, such as landmarks, neighborhoods, and familiarity, on navigation behavior and their role in designing navigational aids.
