This article focuses on spatial abilities mobilized during hypertext navigation. Based on the evidence that spatial cognition plays a central role in navigation, we present an experiment involving information search tasks both in physical environment and in hypermedia environment. We investigate how users make use of their spatial abilities to search information in hypermedia, by comparing their performances in hypermedia navigation and physical navigation. As data collection and analysis are still in progress, we present preliminary results based on available data. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
