“…One focus of this line of research has been on the construction of useful and efficient navigational systems that guide users using cognitively rich frameworks, such as landmarks, neighborhoods, features, and navigational history [1][2][3][4]. To be successful in building such systems, it is critical to understand the task at hand, the knowledge that users bring to bear, the expectations that users have about the space, and the physical cues that the environment provides to the user [5][6].…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the role of activity on the construction of route directions. Primary to our conceptualization is that the activity at hand constrains the relevance of spatial information for task performance, as well as the level of granularity at which information is needed. In this paper, we highlight the role of activity for relevance and granularity first based on a review of each of the components involved, and furthermore by a semantic analysis of content patterns in human-generated instructions. The analysis identifies the verbalization styles that are associated with distinct types of activities on the basis of individual keywords that may serve as indicators. We offer a strong theoretical argument for the importance of activities and provide a first step towards an operationalization of this concept, as well as implications for the development of cognitively motivated navigation systems.
