You Are Here

How is it that with a set of Map-Quested directions, a GPS on the dashboard and Google Earth to guide us, we still manage to get ourselves lost? If humans are so evolved why is it easier for an ant to find its way home? Patt explores the question with Colin Ellard, author of “You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon but Get Lost in the Mall."

Guests:

Colin Ellard, Professor of Psychology at the University of Waterloo and author of “You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon but Get Lost in the Mall”
