- Navigational strategies and models T. Rodrigo Psicología Many scientists are interested in the different mechanisms and strategies thatanimals use to navigate. This paper reviews a series of studies and modelsabout the navigational strategies that animals can use to move from oneplace to another. Studies of long-distance navigation have mainly beenfocused on how animals are able to maintain a certain orientation across adistance of hundreds of kilometers. These studies have shown the greatvariety of sources of information that animals can use to orientatethemselves, as well as their redundancy. But, for successful navigation tooccur, animals not only have to know how to orientate themselves, theyalso have to know which direction they should be orientated and for howlong. Direction and duration have mainly been studied in short-distancenavigation. These studies have shown that animals can use a variety ofstrategies to locate a given goal. Whether an animal uses a specific strategywill depend on its sensory capabilities and also on the conditions imposedby the environment. 2002 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16923102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.23
