Assessing the Influence of Landmarks and Paths on the Navigational Efficiency and the Cognitive Load of Indoor Maps

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate whether different expressions of landmarks and paths have different influences on the navigational efficiency and the cognitive load of indoor maps. The study tested 80 subjects by indoor path discovery experiments and measured their cognitive loads with the Cooper–Harper scale. According to the results, we extracted some key landmarks from all landmarks of the experimental indoor map and evaluated the saliency degree of each path. Then, the study tested subjects with f… Show more

“…This extra time also led to an increase in the cognitive workload of the participants, thereby hindering the transfer of learning. Our results are consistent with those of Fan H. et al [ 5 ]. The navigational task-finishing time of the group using the full-landmark map was significantly higher than that of the group using the key-landmark map.…”

“…This hypothesis was also supported by the results obtained regarding task completion time for all groups. In addition, these results are supported by previous studies [ 5 , 11 , 44 ]. The results show that the task completion times of groups X2 and Y2 was significantly higher than those of groups X1 and Y1, respectively.…”

“…Outro elemento presente em um sistema de navegação e que merece atenção na representação é o ponto de referência. De acordo com Fang et al (2020), um ponto de referência é uma área ou objeto fixo específico em um mapa, que desempenha um papel importante para o usuário ao auxiliar no processo de descoberta de rotas e da compreensão do ambiente. Esses elementos servem como um guia de caminho ou uma identificação posicional, podem ajudar as pessoas a construir representações dos arredores, ou melhorar sua confiança nas decisões de busca de caminhos.…”

“…Os pontos de referência mostram as informações espaciais de objetos reais, enquanto as rotas simplificam a navegação com informações que os usuários do mapa precisam compreender. No entanto, a utilização desses elementos deve ser realizada de forma adequada, evitando sempre o excesso de informações (FANG et al, 2020). Isso porque o nível de equilíbrio e organização visual do símbolo varia em função da sua forma, localização e quantidade no mapa.…”
