The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.4K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Instinctive Drift01:05

Instinctive Drift

330
Instinctive drift refers to the tendency of animals to revert to their innate behaviors despite repeated reinforcement. Breland and Breland demonstrated this concept in an experiment with a raccoon. The raccoon was trained to pick up two coins and place them in a container in exchange for food. Initially, the raccoon learned to associate the coins with food, making them a conditioned stimulus or a substitute for food. However, over time, the raccoon became less willing to put the coins into the...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes-Problem Solving

453
Consider a crane whose telescopic boom rotates with an angular velocity of 0.04 rad/s and angular acceleration of 0.02 rad/s2. Along with the rotation, the boom also extends linearly with a uniform speed of 5 m/s. The extension of the boom is measured at point D, which is measured with respect to the fixed point C on the other end of the boom. For the given instant, the distance between points C and D is 60 meters.
Here, in order to determine the magnitude of velocity and acceleration for point...

Common Leveling Mistakes and Errors01:17

Common Leveling Mistakes and Errors

131
A survey team is tasked with determining the elevation difference between points Point A and Point B, separated by uneven terrain. They use a leveling instrument and a leveling rod.Common MistakesMisreading the Rod: During a backsight reading at Point A, the instrumentman observes the rod partially obscured by tall grass. Instead of reading 1.135 m, they mistakenly record 1.735 m due to the misalignment of the crosshair with the wrong graduation. This error adds 0.600 m to all subsequent...

Summary

Target drift, a visual cue, accurately informs heading judgments during self-movement. This cue alone is as effective as other visual cues, suggesting independent processing for navigation.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Navigation and motion

Background:

  • Heading perception is crucial for navigation.
  • Visual cues, such as target drift, inform self-motion direction.
  • Existing research often combines multiple visual cues for heading estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of "target drift" as a cue for heading judgments.
  • To compare the precision of heading judgments using target drift versus "extra-drift" cues.
  • To determine if combining target drift with extra-drift cues enhances heading judgment precision.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated forward self-translation was used.
  • Heading judgments were compared using target drift cues alone, extra-drift cues alone, and combined cues.
  • Four experiments were conducted to assess cue utility and precision.

Main Results:

  • Participants made precise heading judgments (≤1.53°) using only the target drift cue.
  • Heading judgment precision with target drift alone was comparable to or better than with extra-drift cues alone.
  • Adding extra-drift cues to target drift did not improve judgment precision.

Conclusions:

  • Target drift is a powerful and effective cue for determining heading direction.
  • Target drift and extra-drift cues appear to be processed independently.
  • Precise heading perception can be achieved using target drift as a singular cue.
