Topographic Map Reading

Abstract

Efforts for the second six months of the subject project have continued to focus on determining how expert subjects solve map reading problems. A procedure for collecting and analyzing protocols of expert subjects as they solve problems has been worked out and this is being validated on new subjects. A simulated map reading situation has been developed for laboratory research and this is being exploited to manipulate information available in the map reading situation. Work is also continuing on the characterization of the map readings problem for computational modeling.
