“…It is highly structured in its symmetry and is surrounded on three sides by the facades of hospital buildings and on the fourth by a grid overlooking a busy street. Elements of the garden as works of art, furniture and plants have been created or selected to include specific cultural references of the region and to favour multi‐sensorial stimulation with the introduction of sound sculptures, brightly coloured flower beds and perfumed plants (Rivasseau Jonveaux et al, 2013; Rivasseau‐Jonveaux et al, 2012). The garden is divided into four squares of more‐or‐less equivalent surface area, each depicting a different theme: earth, water, fire and wind.…”

“…One can thus think that in a large-scale environment, the richness of the landmarks, whose impact has already been demonstrated on the reproduction of the route (Denis et al, 2014), favours route retracing. Indeed, this garden, which aims, among other things, at multi-sensory stimulation (Rivasseau Jonveaux et al, 2013;Rivasseau-Jonveaux et al, 2012), has salient, distinctive landmarks (such as works of art, stylised furniture, and plants in bright colours). These landmarks can be expected to have helped participants complete the return route.…”

“…The garden is divided into four squares of more-or-less equivalent surface area, each depicting a different theme: earth, water, fire and wind. The distinctiveness of these four zones is reinforced by the use of different materials and plants with a distinct dominant colour(Rivasseau-Jonveaux et al, 2012).…”

The cognitive processes involved in route retracing are not well known. This study aims to highlight them in an elderly population in which contradictory results have been obtained, certain studies showing specific difficulties for route retracing, others not. Thirty-nine elderly subjects performed a route-learning task (forward-backward) in a garden, then completed spatial knowledge tasks and standardised cognitive tests. Results show four factors that were predictive of route retracing performance: route repetition, the pointing task, and two standardised cognitive tests, one assessing spatial working memory, and another global cognitive efficiency. According to these results, route retracing involves route and survey knowledge (i.e., egocentric and allocentric strategy), and the integration of forward-backward perspectives is underpinned by the spatial working memory. Moreover, the subjects did not make more errors in route retracing than in the route repetition task, suggesting that a real environment could compensate for a failing allocentric strategy.

“…Outre un support à la navigation et à la mobilité, l'environnement peut également devenir un outil de soin, tels que les jardins thérapeutiques (healing gardens) dans l'accompagnement psychosocial de la MA. Cependant, ils doivent, pour cela, répondre à des critères de conception adaptés [86,87]. Par exemple, le jardin thérapeutique « art, mémoire et vie » du CHRU de Nancy a été pensé comme un « prototype » permettant de tester différentes hypothèses de recherche en situation réelle, écologique.…”

La difficulté à s'orienter et trouver son chemin au sein d'un environnement nouveau ou familier, autrement dit à « naviguer », a été décrite dans le vieillissement normal et constitue également un symptôme commun à de nombreuses pathologies neurologiques, qu'elles soient évolutives ou non. Cependant, la navigation reste relativement peu étudiée et évaluée en pratique clinique, malgré son importance pour l'autonomie des personnes. Depuis quelques décennies, une évolution théoricoclinique, d'une conception « statique » de l'orientation spatiale à une conception « dynamique » de la navigation, s'est fait jour. Cette évolution conceptuelle pose plusieurs défis pour la psychologie cognitive et la neuropsychologie, et notamment celui de la prise en compte des caractéristiques de l'environnement dans les modèles cognitifs, d'une part, et dans la conception d'outils d'évaluation, d'autre part. En effet, naviguer repose sur l'intégration d'une pluralité de sources d'information, aussi bien propres au sujet qu'à l'environnement. L'accompagnement des personnes désorientées est un enjeu de santé publique, et cela plus particulièrement dans notre société vieillissante. Les connaissances issues de la cognition spatiale peuvent apporter des réponses, qu'elles soient appliquées au soin ou à l'accompagnement des personnes (outils d'aide à la navigation, aménagement de l'environnement, etc.). Mots clés : navigation spatiale • neuropsychologie • vieillissement cognitif • validité écologique

“…It is known that it supports the well-being of every person treated in hospital for physical or mental disabilities when the educational, developing and healing effects of nature, including plants and soil, are taken advantage of (Uslu & Shakouri, 2012). For example, it demonstrates that buildings should be designed as a part of healing gardens for cognitive and psycho-behavioral rehabilitation of Alzheimer's patients, that the benefits of green spaces show psychological, physical and sociological improvement (Rivasseau-Jonveaux et al, 2012), and that the benefits of healing gardens have been seen as mental improvement, social interaction, sensorial stimulation, cognitive development and sensory motor functions improvement (Söderback et al, 2004), on patients with a brain damage.…”

Healing gardens are thematic areas where users spend quality time, supporting recovery, making them feel better than they are. Many health care providers have gardens on the outside. However, these gardens are inadequately equipped and have unsuitable designs. It is irresponsive to the requests and needs of users, from plant selection to structural solutions and equipment used. It should be known that the space organization of healing gardens should be designed with the special needs of individuals with different obstacles prioritized. In this study, the outdoor space of a rehabilitation center is designed as a garden of improvement for the physical and mental health and comfort of individuals. In line with the on-site observations (feasibility studies, drone shootings, potentials of the field) and the needs of the users (students, student relatives, staff), a concept diagram for this area was developed with the opinions of the expert psychologists working in the rehabilitation center and the recommendations for each place were visualized with illustrations. Module designs included in illustrations can be applied to all kinds of healing gardens.
