Visuospatial function is a critical aspect of cognitive abilities, encompassing visual perception, attention, memory, and adaptive responses to spatial changes. This paper reviews studies on human visuospatial function, spatial navigation, and factors contributing to visuospatial impairments. After introducing fundamental concepts of visuospatial function and spatial navigation, classical methods for assessing visuospatial performance are summarized. By examining recent advances in spatial navigation studies, this paper discusses factors influencing spatial navigation capabilities and explores how spatial navigation paradigms can be used to investigate visuospatial cognitive impairments. Finally, current limitations in spatial navigation research are highlighted. Overall, the current research has not yet reached definitive conclusions regarding visuospatial aspects. However, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of visuospatial dysfunction and spatial navigation, providing valuable references for future research.
视觉空间功能是认知能力的一个关键方面，包括视觉感知、注意力、记忆以及对空间变化的适应性反应。本文综述了关于人类视觉空间功能、空间导航以及导致视觉空间障碍的因素的研究。在介绍视觉空间功能和空间导航的基本概念之后，总结了评估视觉空间表现的经典方法。通过研究空间导航研究的最新进展，本文讨论了影响空间导航能力的因素，并探讨了如何利用空间导航范式来研究视觉空间认知障碍。最后，强调了空间导航研究目前存在的局限性。总体而言，目前关于视觉空间方面的研究尚未得出明确结论。然而，本文旨在增进对视觉空间功能障碍和空间导航的理解，为未来的研究提供有价值的参考。
