    "abstract": "In a series of two experiments we investigated the influence\nof an allocentric and egocentric perspective on landmarkbased\nwayfinding and finding the according return path.\nParticipants had to learn a route consisting of twelve\nintersections with four different verbal landmarks at each\nintersection. They were asked to memorize at least one of the\nlandmarks for providing a route description after the learning\nphase, either in the learning direction (initial path) or in the\nopposite direction (return path). In the allocentric experiment,\na clear preference and higher performance was demonstrated\nfor landmarks located at the position before the intersection\nand in the direction of turn, while in the egocentric\nperspective landmarks in the direction of turn were better\nremembered and used more frequently, independent of the\nposition before or behind the intersection. These results will\nbe discussed with respect to current research on structural\nsalience in landmark-based wayfinding.",
