Abstract
In many everyday situations, two or more people navigate collaboratively but their spatial knowledge does not necessarily overlap. However, most research to date, has investigated social wayfinding under either 1-sided or fully shared spatial information. Here, we present the pilot experiment of a novel, computerised, non-verbal experimental paradigm to study collaborative wayfinding under the face of spatial information uncertainty. Participants (N=32) learned two different neighbourhoods individually, and then navigated together as dyads (D=16), from one neighbourhood to the other. Our pilot results reveal that overall participants share navigational control, but are in control more when the task leads them to a familiar destination. We discuss the effects of spatial ability and motivation to lead, as well as the outlook of the paradigm.
