Résumé
Navigation is an important skill for mobile creatures. One important aspect of navigation is the ability to regain your position (reorient) if you become lost. Over the last 20 years, Marcia Spetch has added substantially to our understanding of reorientation and has advanced the fields of both comparative cognition and spatial cognition. The aim of the paper is to review her contributions, and in particular focus on a) the complexity of geometric cues that can guide reorientation; b) how short- and long-term experiences influence the relative use of geometric and feature cues; c) comparisons of reorientation behavior across species; d) discuss her contributions to theories of reorientation.
