Abstract

ABSTRACT We test the effect of a landmark’s visual and structural salience on memory retrieval of turning directions at intersections in a virtual environment. Across three studies, we find an increased decision correctness when the location of the visually salient landmark converges with the turning direction. This pattern is robust across various perspectives, including the return path. We find no performance differences between route repetition and return path. We find some evidence to turn toward a visually salient landmark even if this is not correct. Taken together, a visually salient landmark helps if located in the turning direction, but might be detrimental to a navigator’s ability to recall the correct direction if located on the opposite side.
右转(或左转?):路标显著性对路线方向检索的影响
摘要:本文研究了虚拟环境中路标的视觉显著性和结构显著性对十字路口转弯方向记忆提取的影响。在三项研究中,我们发现当视觉上显著的地标位置与转弯方向收敛时,决策正确性增加。此模式在各种透视图(包括返回路径)中都是健壮的。我们发现路径重复和返回路径之间没有性能差异。我们找到一些证据来转向一个视觉上显著的地标,即使这是不正确的。综上所述,如果路标位于转弯方向,视觉上显著的路标会有所帮助,但如果路标位于相反的方向,则可能不利于导航员回忆正确方向的能力。
