The effect of spatial arrangement on judgments and errors in interpreting graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spatial arrangement of social network data in graphs can influence viewers" perceptions of structural characteristics such as prominence, bridging and grouping. To study the extent of this effect, we conducted an experiment with 80 graduate students. Each student viewed three of five different spatial arrangements of the same network. We found that viewers' perceptions of structural features of the network changed as the spatial arrangement of the network changed. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملDesigning Solvable Graphs for Multiple Moving Agents
Solvable Graphs (also known as Reachable Graphs) are types of graphs that any arrangement of a specified number of agents located on the graph’s vertices can be reached from any initial arrangement through agents’ moves along the graph’s edges, while avoiding deadlocks (interceptions). In this paper, the properties of Solvable Graphs are investigated, and a new concept in multi agent moti...
