20. The Heuristics of Spatial Cognition

Author

Hirtle, Stephen C. and Mascolo, Michael F.

Abstract

Distance estimation has been used extensively in the investigation of cognitive maps, yet it is not well understood as a cognitive process in its own right and, as a result, has been viewed as a simple read-out from a spatial representation. In contrast, this paper considers distance estimation to be a complex mental process in which heuristics guide the choice of strategies. Specifically, verbal protocols were collected on a distance estimation task for 20 undergraduates using a variety of city pairs in U.S. and Canada. On the basis of these data, distance estimation is shown to be a constructive process, using a relatively limited number of heuristics, such as addition, hedges and ratios. The choice of heuristics and the time to make a judgment are shown to be related to variables such as the familiarity of locations and the distance to be judged. The advantage of viewing distance estimation as a constructive process rather than a passive readout off an intemal map is argued.

31. An Empirical Comparison of Visualization Tools To Assist Information Retrieval on the Web.

Author

Heo, Misook and Hirtle, Stephen C.

Abstract

Discusses problems with navigation in hypertext systems, including cognitive overload, and describes a study that tested information visualization techniques to see which best represented the underlying structure of Web space. Considers the effects of visualization techniques on user performance on information searching tasks and the effects of different sizes of Web spaces. (Author/LRW)
