Recent developments in immersive virtual reality allow experimental manipulations todissociate the cognitive components of spatial behaviour. Novel computational analyses caninterpret spatial behaviour in terms of its component processes, and computational models ofthe underlying neural mechanisms have been formed from cross-species neuroscientificinvestigation. We will apply these technical and analytical advances to understand thedeterioration of spatial behaviour in healthy aging in terms of its underlying componentprocesses and neural mechanisms. We hope this work will have important impact on qualityof life and coping strategies in healthy aging and dementia.

沉浸式虚拟现实的最新发展允许实验操作来分离空间行为的认知成分。新颖的计算分析可以根据其组成过程来解释空间行为，并且潜在神经机制的计算模型已经通过跨物种神经科学研究形成。我们将应用这些技术和分析进展来理解健康老龄化过程中空间行为恶化的基本组成过程和神经机制。我们希望这项工作将对健康老龄化和痴呆症的生活质量和应对策略产生重要影响。
