Studies of the Cognitive Representation of Spatial Relations: III. A Hypothetical Environment.

Baird, John C.; Merrill, Amanda A.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, v108 n1 p99-106 Mar 1979

This experiment investigated preferences for the location of facilities in an ideal town. Ten graduate students represented the relative locations of facilities (home, school, factory) by two methods: (1) pairwise ideal distances on a 100-point scale and (2) direct planning of locations on a Tektronix cathode ray screen.
