Abstract | Cognitive abilities similar to other mental or physical abilities develop and change during the course of life. Spatial processing is a cognitive ability, which has been suggested to deteriorate by age [1]. The focus of this paper is to study the change of real time egocentric spatial processing in humans by age. For this, an interactive computer game played with a 2DOF manipulandum was designed. The game consists of goal-oriented motor tasks, in which the player must move the robot arm toward a desired spatial cue in a virtual 2D environment in every trial for a total number of 72 trials. The spatial cues are four final destinations and a starting location, which change their position in every new trial of the game. 37 individuals with no cognitive impairment were split into 3 groups according to different age range (children, young, and elderly) and participated in this experiment. Their spatial processing ability was assessed and compared between the age groups. The results show the children (7-12 y) and elderly $(65^{+}$ y) performed very similar and significantly worse than the young adult participants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
