Abstract
Purpose: Spatial similarity will affect people's visual discrimination ability. Here, we conducted an eye movement research to explore the influence of spatial design similarity on human visual discrimination. Method: Photos of urban intersections with different similarity levels were chose, and 50 randomly selected subjects evaluated the similarity levels of all the photos so as to determine the materials for the formal experiment. Participants should judge whether the set of pictures presented on the eye movement device were the same place or not, reaction time and percent correct were recorded. Results: The response time of the experimental materials with 50% similarity was significantly lower than that of the other two groups, and the error rate of the experimental materials with 80% similarity was significantly higher than that of the other two groups. Conculsion: Urban spatial similarity affects visual discrimination ability saliently. The relevant results may shed new insight on the future urban spaital design.
