Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday Dec 10, 5 pm.
We are adding Stratton's original experiments--documented in the form of
extensive first person reports--to our mix, on the hypothesis that issues
of memory might come up in them.
Amazingly, they are available online via Concordia's eJournals. It's in
two parts, in The Psychological Review, 1897, Volume 4, issue 4, 341-360
and Volume 4, issue 5, 463-481. If McGiller's can't get access let me know
Given our discussion and where it was heading, I think it would also be
good to take a look at Collin Ellard's book Where Am I? at this point, as
it gives concrete discussion of the psychology of navigation, wayfinding,
location--but in a conceptually and intellectually lively way.
I think that Xin Wei and I are both thinking that we need to start moving
now from the theoretical to more of a design phase. Tristana is also
gathering methodological material for us.
