Route learning is the cognitive process of acquiring, encoding, and recalling the sequence of directions needed to navigate from one location to another. It involves spatial memory, environmental cues, and often relies on both egocentric and allocentric perspectives to form a comprehensive mental map of the environment.

Spatial memory is the cognitive process that enables individuals to remember the locations and physical relationships of objects in their environment. It is crucial for navigation and is supported by brain regions like the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, which help encode, store, and retrieve spatial information.

Environmental cues are external signals or stimuli in our surroundings that influence our behavior, perception, and decision-making processes. They play a critical role in shaping human interactions with the environment, often subconsciously guiding actions and responses based on learned or innate associations.
