Wayfinding by children and adults
The wayfinding abilities of 6- and 12-year-old children ware compared with those of 22-year-old adults. After their 1st walk across a university campus, participants were asked to lead the way back along the same route. Participants in 2 conditions (look back and retrace) were given instructions intended to prevent wandering, whereas those in a 3rd (uninstructed) condition were only told that they were going on a tour. A series of instructions to…
Evaluation of Behavior in a Stochastic Choice Setting
This note presents a result obtained during a study of concurrent variable-interval choice by rats. The evidence suggests that an animal may be able to optimize reward rate in a changing environment and that animals are sensitive to daily fluctuations in reward rates
Children's wayfinding
The paths taken by 6- and 12-year-old children who were asked to lead the way back after their first walk across a university campus were recorded. Prior to the return, children were either uninformed of the requirement to lead the way back, generally informed, or shown specific near or far landmarks during the walk. The results suggest a prudent prescription for parents who are concerned about their child's independent travel: Specify route feat…
