Giving Good Directions: Order of Mention Reflects Visual Salience
In complex stimuli, there are many different possible ways to refer to a specified target. Previous studies have shown that when people are faced with such a task, the content of their referring expression reflects visual properties such as size, salience, and clutter. Here, we extend these findings and present evidence that (i) the influence of visual perception on sentence construction goes b...
متن کاملWhen and Why Are Visual Landmarks Used in Giving Directions?
Route directions describe the sequence of actions a moving person needs to take to reach a goal in an environment. When generating directions, speakers not only specify what to do. They also refer to landmarks located along the route. We report two studies intended to identify the cognitive functions of landmarks. In the first study, participants learned a route in an urban environment. They th...
متن کاملStructural Salience of Landmarks for Route Directions
This paper complements landmark research with an approach to formalize the structural salience of objects along routes. The aim is to automatically integrate salient objects—landmarks—into route directions. To this end, two directions of research are combined: the formalization of salience of objects and the conceptualization of wayfinding actions. We approach structural salience with some taxo...
متن کاملSalience of visual parts.
Many objects have component parts, and these parts often differ in their visual salience. In this paper we present a theory of part salience. The theory builds on the minima rule for defining part boundaries. According to this rule, human vision defines part boundaries at negative minima of curvature on silhouettes, and along negative minima of the principal curvatures on surfaces. We propose t...
متن کاملFocalizing Measures of Salience for Route Directions
This chapter reviews a model of measuring the salience of a specific class of spatial features—façades of buildings—for adaptation to abilities and preferences of user groups of wayfinding services. The model was intentionally designed to be open for such adaptations, and we will report on ways, experiences, and limitations of doing so. We will prove the hypothesis that focalization, i.e., adap...
