Development of Landmark Knowledge at Decision Points

Two experiments investigated how people develop different landmark knowledge at decision points. Participants learned a route in a virtual city once or five times. One distinctive landmark was placed at each intersection of the route. At test, participants were released at each intersection according to the learning order and were required to determine the turning direction. At each intersection, the landmark was removed (no landmark), correctly placed (one landmark), duplicated on the other side (two identical landmarks), or misplaced from another intersection (two different landmarks) to disrupt the landmark sequence. The results suggested that humans develop different landmark knowledge (landmark knowledge for guidance, landmark knowledge for place recognition and knowledge of landmark sequence) with different navigation experience.

Is Memory for Routes Enhanced by an Environment's Richness in Visual Landmarks?

We tested the hypothesis that a route's memorability is dependent on the frequency with which people are exposed to visual landmarks. Undergraduates learned either a route through an urban area lacking visually salient features, or a route in a neighborhood with many shops and urban objects. They were then asked to recall the learned route in the form of route directions and sketch maps. The results showed higher recall performance for the richer environment. When presented with photographs depicting scenes along the route, participants exposed to the richer environment had higher recognition scores and shorter response times than the others. The data confirm the functional role of landmarks in route memory and wayfinding.     

The Influence of Geometrical and Nongeometrical Features on the Use of the Lexical Concepts NEAR and FAR in English and Finnish

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of geometrical and nongeometrical features on the use of the lexical concepts NEAR and FAR in English and Finnish. Participants' acceptability ratings for these concepts demonstrate that a bar in between a Figure and a Ground acts as a scale-setting object but not as a distance enhancing barrier, shows that the influence of the geometrical feature Figure–Ground distance exceeds the influence of several nongeometrical features, but most of all reveals that language specific lexical properties associated with NEAR and FAR predict language dependent effects for functional relatedness in interaction with Figure–Ground distance and bar presence.     

一种有效支持空间分析的空间数据组织

Ｒｅａｌｍｓ是一种用于描述空间平面的数学模型。它提出了一种所有空间对象共享一个共同的空间元素集合的思想以及一种空间元素的排序规则。这些特点使得二维空间能够线性化为一维有序的元素集合，将二维空间问题转化为一维线性问题，从而使得基于Ｒｅａｌｍｓ的空间数据组织能有效地支持平面扫描算法。通过对空间对象的简单扫描，能够实现多数空间分析算法。以Ｒｅａｌｍｓ为基础实现空间数据管理系统能取得较高的效率，并且降低了     

成分数据的空间自回归模型

针对已有成分数据线性回归模型对研究对象相互独立的严格要求,提出了含有成分数据和普通数据的空间自回归模型,在此基础上提出了成分数据空间自回归模型的估计方法。新模型结合了空间自回归模型处理因变量之间相互依赖的优势,可同时处理成分数据和普通数据。通过利用等距对数比（ilr）变换将成分数据解约束,得到了新模型的参数估计量。蒙特卡罗模拟实验验证了所提估计方法的有效性。      

基于改进的传声器阵列数据分析技术的飞机机体噪声实验研究

 发展了一种平面传声器阵列数据处理新方法——洁净信号处理算法,通过对传声器阵列混淆和旁瓣信号的有效抑制,改进了对声源的分辨。基于改进的数据分析方法,研究了真实飞机结构和真实飞行条件下飞机起落架、襟翼等声源的频谱特性、指向特性。研究结果表明,新的信号处理算法可以更加清晰地分离出飞机表面的气动噪声源。起落架噪声的频谱是由宽频随机噪声与一些较为明显的单音噪声源组成,在不同辐射角度时,起落架噪声的声级在不同频率范围有一定的差异。襟翼侧缘噪声频谱是一个包含有个别明显单音噪声的宽频噪声谱,襟翼内侧缘噪声谱和外侧缘噪声谱有明显的差异,在低频范围,襟翼侧缘噪声的指向性比较明显,但在高频范围,襟翼侧缘噪声没有明显的指向性。
