The spatiotemporal sequencing of everyday activities in the large-scale environment

摘要: Abstract Choices of where to carry out everyday activities in large-scale environments were conceptualized as a process forming ‘travel plans’, and, test model how such plans are formed, three experimental simulations planning task performed the laboratory. In Experiment 1, subjects (high school students) found choose shortest route travel between number actual, familiar locations town by first choosing order that minimized straight-line (Euclidean) distances, then paths constrained order. The choices were, 2, be made minimizing distance locally rather than globally, except some cases when ‘spatial configurations’ discovered. Both results this experiment and 3 suggested discoveries facilitated simultaneous representation which was possible they positions on display, committed short-term memory or available for perceptual inspection, but less extent actual locations.
