    "abstract": "There are mixed findings with respect to individual or gender differences in virtual Morris water maze tasks, which\nmay be attributed to variations in the scale of the space, the cues provided, and differences in spatial navigation experience\nand abilities. We explore the question of scale and context by presenting participants with either a large (146 m) or small (36\nm) outdoor virtual Morris maze, along with a measure of lifetime mobility and mental rotation skills. Results of this study\nsuggest that, for the small-scale environment, males and females performed similarly when asked to navigate with only close\nvisual cues. However, males outperformed females when only far cues were visible. In the large-scale environment, males\noutperformed females in both cue conditions. Additionally, mental rotation abilities predicted better navigation performance\nwith close cues only. Finally, we found that highly mobile females and males perform equally well when navigating with close\ncues.",
