Illustrating shared features of students’ cognitive image of a university campus
Sketch maps reveal important features that reflect people’s understanding of the environment. This study presents how the different types of sketch maps highlighted shared spatial knowledge through a theory-based approach to skeletal map development. Sketch maps collected from 123 university students demonstrated that the information drawn combined sequential (streets) and spatial elements highly dominated by landmarks. Students’ cognitive image …
Learning Unfamiliar Routes with Relative and Absolute Instructions
This article investigated an outdoor wayfinding performance following absolute and relative verbal route instructions. Participants were divided into two groups. Each group received two types of instructions that started in one frame of reference and shifted to another reference frame. Results showed that participants in both groups had difficulty following the absolute instructions having significantly more stops, more deviations, and more frequ…
Orientation information in wayfinding instructions
Although the importance of landmarks for human navigation and for orientation is well accepted, most of today’s navigation systems hardly incorporate any landmark information or information supporting orientation. Different from previous research that only addressed turn-by-turn instructions in verbal forms and landmarks at decision points, the present study provides empirical evidence that human-generated wayfinding instructions are not solely t…
