“…Path analysis also found that global/local distribution of attention had a moderate predictive power on categorization in both of the tested models, i.e., analytic perceivers (defined by the CFT global precedence score) used analytic categorization in maps, whereas holistic perceivers used holistic categorization. This finding is consistent with the research theory (Chiu, 1972;Ji et al, 2004;Norenzayan et al, 2002) and the empirical research (Kubíček et al, 2016;Šašinka et al, 2018;Stachoň et al, 2019). Consequently, the cognitive style that is characterized as a perceptual process is presumably manifested in higher cognitive processes, such as map reading and categorization.…”

“…The perceptual factors of cognitive style, more specifically the global and local distribution of attention, were measured using the CFT -Compound Figure Test, which is a modified version of the Navon method (Navon, 1977) and has been previously used in several studies (e.g., Kukaňová, 2017;Opach et al, 2018;Šašinka et al, 2018). The CFT comprises six practice trials and 32 test trials (blocked design, same 16 trials for both local and global processing).…”

“…We created specific cartographic tasks for purposes of our experiment. Categorization was measured with CMMS -Categorization of Multivariate Map Symbols, which is based on previous research in categorization (Chiu, 1972;Ji et al, 2004;Norenzayan et al, 2002) and on the relationship between cognitive style and map reading (e.g., Herman et al, 2019;Kubíček et al, 2016;Opach, Popelka, Doležalová, & Rod, 2018;Stachoň et al, 2018;Šašinka et al, 2018). The CMMS measures a specific component of categorization, namely clustering (cf.…”

The article examines cross-cultural differences encountered in the cognitive processing of specific cartographic stimuli. W e conducted a comparative experimental study on 98 participants from two different cultures, the first group comprising Czechs (N = 53) and the second group comprising Chinese (N = 22) and Taiwanese (N = 23). The findings suggested that the Central European participants were less collectivistic, used similar cognitive style and categorized multivariate point symbols on a map more analytically than the Asian participants. The findings indicated that culture indeed influenced human perception and cognition of spatial information. The entire research model was also verified at an individual level through structural equation modelling (SEM). Path analysis suggested that individualism and collectivism was a weak predictor of the analytic/holistic cognitive style. Path analysis also showed that cognitive style considerably predicted categorization in map point symbols.

“…To assess global and local distribution of attention, we applied a Compound Figures Test: a numerical PC version of the original Navon test [43]. CFT has been applied in previous studies [44][45][46][47]. The test was administered using the Hypothesis software [48,49].…”

Cultural variations in global and local attention and eye-movement patterns during the perception of complex visual scenes: Comparison of Czech and Taiwanese university students

Previous research on cross-cultural differences in visual attention has been inconclusive. Some studies have suggested the existence of systematic differences in global and local attention and context sensitivity, while others have produced negative or mixed results. The objective in this study was to examine the similarities and differences in holistic and analytic cognitive styles in a sample of Czech and Taiwanese university students. Two cognitive tasks were conducted: a Compound Figures Test and a free-viewing scene perception task which manipulated several focal objects and measured eye-movement patterns. An analysis of the reaction times in the Compound Figures Test showed no clear differences between either sample. An analysis of eye-movement metrics showed certain differences between the samples. While Czechs tended to focus relatively more on the focal objects measured by the number of fixations, the Taiwanese subjects spent more time fixating on the background. The results were consistent for scenes with one or two focal objects. The results of a correlation analysis of both tasks showed that they were unrelated. These results showed certain differences between the samples in visual perception but were not as systematic as the theory of holistic and analytic cognitive styles would suggest. An alternative model of cross-cultural differences in cognition and perception is discussed.

“…An Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire (OSIVQ) can be conducted in order to measure the cognitive style of users and their respective tendencies to solve tasks analytically or holistically. The role of cognitive styles in map perception was studied byČížková [66] and Šašinka et al [67]. A significant influence of expertise on the effectiveness of solving spatial tasks was reported by Herman et al, [28].…”

This work addresses the impact of a geovisualization’s level of realism on a user’s experience in indoor navigation. The key part of the work is a user study in which participants navigated along a designated evacuation route previously learnt in a virtual tour or traditional 2D floor plan. The efficiency and effectiveness of completing the task was measured by the number of incorrect turns during navigation and completion time. The complexity of mental spatial representations that participants developed before and after navigating the route was also evaluated. The data was obtained using several qualitative and quantitative research methods (mobile eye tracking, structured interviews, sketching of cognitive maps, creation of navigation instructions, and additional questions to evaluate spatial orientation abilities). A total of 36 subjects (17 in the “floor plan” group and 19 in the “virtual tour” group) participated in the study. The results showed that the participants from both groups were able to finish the designated navigation route, but more detailed mental spatial representations were developed by the “virtual tour” group than the “floor plan” group. The participants in the virtual tour group created richer navigation instructions both before and after evacuation, mentioned more landmarks and could recall their characteristics. Visual landmark characteristics available in the virtual tour also seemed to support the correct decision-making.
