实验证据揭示了空间几何学在真实的城市环境中寻路的作用。眼动追踪被用在一个基于桌面的实验中，研究人们在寻找道路的决定中，当让他们自由寻找或被要求寻找出租车站时，他们会看哪里。从这两个任务的凝视模式进行了比较，随后的回忆任务，并根据街道网格的拓扑结构进行分析。结果表明，决策强烈倾向于更多的连接街道，和固定模式的空间几何的刺激在空间决策和回忆任务。控制挑选出照明和启示的影响，在行为反应和凝视偏差模式;人和交通的存在作为特别强大的吸引力。本文强调了空间几何学在真实的城市环境中对个人空间决策的作用。
Experimental evidence sheds new light on the role of spatial geometry for wayfinding in real urban environments. Eye-tracking is used in a desktop-based experiment to study where people look during wayfinding decisions when let to look freely or asked to find a taxi rank. Gaze patterns from these two tasks are compared with a subsequent recall task and analyzed in light of the topology of the street grid. Results show that decisions strongly favor more connected streets, and that fixation patterns respond to the spatial geometry of the stimuli in both the spatial decision-making and recall tasks. Controls single out the impacts of lighting and affordances in both the behavioral responses and gaze bias patterns; the presence of people and traffic serve as particularly strong attractors. The paper highlights the role of spatial geometry for individual spatial decision-making in real urban environments.
