Background: Alterations to spatial navigation have been suggested by previous studies to represent an early cognitive marker for those with and at risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, with most of these studies focusing on spatial memory (usage of formed spatial representations), very little is known about the extent to which spatial exploration (process by which spatial representations are formed) may be altered in AD. The aim of this study is to investigate how spatial exploration behavior may be altered in individuals with and at risk of AD, and the extent to which individuals can be classified into their clinical status based on their exploration behavior.
