Illusions in reading maps by touch
The study reports systematic distance errors in reading raised‐line maps by touch, and how they can be reduced. We show that T‐shaped road junctions produce the typical error due to overestimating the length of the bisecting road compared to the bisected road. The error was not reduced when the target location was marked initially by a symbol. However, it was eliminated by instructions to use both hands concurrently to scan the route relative to …
