Abstract

Human odometry refers to an individual’s ability to travel between locations without eyesight and without designating a conscious effort toward spatially updating themselves as they travel through the environment. A systematic review on human odometry was completed for the purpose of establishing the state-of-the-art of the topic, and based on this information, develop meaningful hypotheses using Strong Inference. The following databases were searched up to February 16, 2023, and accessed through University of Nebraska at Omaha proxied databases: IEEEXplore, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, PubMed Central, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. Of the 7,060 articles reviewed, 23 met our inclusion criteria and were accumulated for their contents and quality. Methodologies, limitations, strengths, and future solutions based on those 23 articles are discussed. In summary, young healthy adults are the typical population examined, and distance perception can be manipulated with distance or gait type. Odometry can be studied using simple measurement tools, participants are often given 3–4 attempts to correctly perceive an average distance of 14.3 m, and the average article is of moderate quality with a mean score of 6.13. Many literature gaps, variability in methodology, and insufficient detail, can be amended by the addition of slightly more detailed manuscripts in future publications.

Effect sizes were calculated for the ‘report’ values given either as distance or error in each respective article. Therefore, results may not be presented for articles that do not contain summary statistics with a mean, standard deviation, or sample size. In addition, we did not calculate effect sizes for papers presenting only coefficients of variance or other measures of precision. This paper is focused on average changes in intervention rather than precision considering only one paper does not report means and standard deviations (Durgin et al., 2009). In addition, since summary statistics are used, we have noted where independent t-test are used instead of a paired t-test which would be more appropriate given enough information had been provided by the authors. All pairwise comparisons were two sided. Bayes Factors were calculated as independent or paired samples t-tests when appropriate, provided enough information was given, with the alternative hypothesis that Group 1 and Group 2 are different with default Cauchy priors. In the case that our own t-tests were carried out independently rather than paired, the Bayes Factor was still calculated as a paired test.

These acronyms provide a condensed legend for calculating effect sizes in text and in the supplementary table. Letters D, S, US, R, REG on the left side of the hyphen describe the dependent variable of interest. D is distance traveled, S is signed error (typically report distance minus measure distance), US is the absolute value of S, R is ratio (typically report distance over measure distance), and REG is a regression fit to the data. Letters D and ND on the right side of the hyphen outline if distance was considered a factor or not in the analysis. D includes distance as a factor and ND does not include distance as a factor.
