Abstract
When learning, one often unconsciously remembers the position of
information. The location of this information is constantly updated across both the
movements of the information and bodily movements, this causes updating noise in the
process. The degree of movement of the information critically depends on the format
of presentation. With the rise of technology, new digital presentation formats are being
developed. The focus of this study will lie on a swipe presentation format and an
Augmented Reality (AR) presentation format. In Augmented Reality (AR) the
information itself does not move, while with swiping the position of all the information
changes. To investigate the e ect that spatial updating has on spatial memory as well
as associated conceptual memory, a version of the game Concentration was build,
called MindSort. In this game words had to be learned from a rst language to an
unknown second language. In the game there were two navigation condition. A swipe
condition, in which the words changed location throughout the game, causing a lot of
spatial updating. And an AR condition, in which the location of the words stayed the
same throughout the game. The results of the study showed no signi cant di erence in
the learning of the words between the navigation conditions.
