DTD

Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD) and the Subtype 'Atopia'

Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD) affects up to 1 in 30 people, causing lifelong inability to orient oneself. Researchers are focusing on 'atopia,' a subtype where individuals lack a cognitive map, leading to frequent disorientation even in familiar places. Navigation training shows promise for improving these skills.
