Bartram – COMPREHENDING SPATIAL INFORMATION 1980

Description

This eight-page academic article, authored by D. J. Bartram from the University of Hull, was published in the *Journal of Applied Psychology*, Vol. 65, No. 1, pages 103-110, in 1980. As a peer-reviewed publication from the American Psychological Association, it offers high trustworthiness for its empirical research on spatial information comprehension. The document is richly illustrated with five figures, including direct visual examples of the four distinct presentation formats studied—alphabetical lists, sequential lists, a detailed road map, and a schematic bus route map—accompanied by two data-driven graphs illustrating key findings. While nearly 45 years old, this seminal work provides foundational insights into the relative efficiency of information display methods for public transport systems, making it a valuable resource for researchers in cognitive psychology, human factors, and information design.
