| Abstract | Previous research has examined heuristics--simplified decision-making rules-of-thumb--for geospatial reasoning. This study examined at two locations the influence of beliefs about local coastline orientation on estimated directions to local and distant places; estimates were made immediately or after fifteen seconds. This study goes beyond well-known effects of alignment, rotation, and orthogonalization. Although residents at both locations widely assume a north-south coastline with ocean lying to the west, it actually runs east-west at the second location with ocean to the south. This created constant errors from the second location not seen from the first. Response delay had very little effect. (As Provided). |
