Cognitive Style (CS) is found to play roles in map reading and navigation. The current study aimed to investigate if Visual-Verbal CS plays a role in route learning from maps and navigating the memorized route in a virtual environment. In two experiments, participants memorized predetermined routes on the maps. Experiment 1 explored whether the way individuals remember the routes is affected by their CS. We tested route memory with three different tasks, each favoring one of the three CS dimensions. We hypothesized that each CS dimension would predict its respective task performance. However, none of the CS dimensions significantly predicted route memory in their corresponding task. In Experiment 2, the test was to navigate the memorized route within a virtual environment. Participants learned the route information in the allocentric format (from a map), and their memory of the route was tested in the egocentric format (route navigation). Building on the findings of Experiment 1, we aimed to investigate if the Visual Verbal CS affects the perspective switch (from allocentric to egocentric) required in the current task. Only the Spatial-Visual Cognitive Style dimension (SVCS) predicted the performance (R²= .1, p = .001) with higher SVCS scores corresponding to fewer navigation errors. However, this effect disappeared when the perspective-taking ability was controlled. Those with higher perspective-taking ability scored higher in the SVCS dimension and performed fewer navigation errors. Overall, with the current methods applied, we can conclude that Visual-Verbal CS does not significantly impact predefined route learning from maps.
