N2 - Map reading is a cognitively demanding spatio-geometric activity for children that involveunderstanding and updating person-space-map relations during movement in a large environment. Drawing from the psychological literature, children’s skills in reasoning about those relations were tested in two tasks of a map-based treasure hunt on the campus ( self-location and place finding), and compared them to their performances in a set of spatial tasks in paper and pencil format. 9- to 12-year old children (N=240) placed colored stickers and arrows on the map to describe their location and orientation at three different places, and laid down three disks to mark locations they identified.
