Ũrĩa mũchezo ũgeragia

Mũchezo ũgeragia maciaro meerĩ ma gũthoma njĩra: gũmenya kũthiĩ njĩra, gũkinya handũ ũronire kũrĩ mapa na njĩra īhũthũ, na kũririkana kũrĩa watandĩkĩire nĩguo ũciarie kũrĩ kuo. Maciaro mothe meerĩ nĩ maũndũ marĩa marĩ kũrĩ ũũmbi wa gũthiĩ njĩra, harĩa harĩ na mũchezo wa thimuni ũkinyĩire andũ mĩrioni [1][2].

Mũchezo wa ũũmbi Sea Hero Quest warĩrie aciniĩro maririkane mapa marĩ na handũ ha gũkinya, na thuutha wao ũtuĩre mũtĩ wa maaĩ ũgathiĩ kuo, na hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ũtuĩre mwaki wa kũmenyithia ũrĩa ũcookerere mwambĩrĩria [1]. Mũchezo witũ nĩ witũ: mũciĩ wa mathangu ũrĩ na irio, hamwe na mapa na mĩtugo yawo. Nĩũtũũra na ciĩgerio igĩrĩ cia ũũmbi ũcio: ũraihu wa njĩra yaku kũringana na njĩra ĩhũthũ mũno, na ũraihu wa ũhũũru wa kũonania njĩra.

Kĩgerio gĩtũũru, ũrĩa andũ anini 60 marĩ na mĩaka mĩnini magĩĩte wega kũrĩ mĩthemba ya gũthiĩ njĩra ya Sea Hero Quest watharĩkanĩire na ũrĩa maathomaga njĩra cia ũrĩa wothe London na Paris (correlations cia 0.46 na 0.57) [3]. Ũcio nĩguo werirwo igũrũ rĩa mũchezo ũcio, ti mũhiano uyu.

Mũchezo ũrĩa ũragĩrĩra

  • Mĩthemba ya kĩgerio 5, ĩgĩcookerera gũkũra. O mũthemba ũtandĩkaga na mapa yothe 8 nginya 12 cia sekondi: hema yaku, ũrĩa ũreheire, na bendera irĩ na namba. Tandika gũthiĩ rĩrĩa ũrĩ tayari.
  • Rĩu thiĩ kũrĩ bendera o kũrĩa, ũkĩririkana mapa. ũrona mũcirigo wa ũtheri wa ita rĩaku tu, na ũrĩa ũrona ũcookerera hamwe na ũcio ũthiĩ: mbere nĩ igũrũ hĩndĩ ciothe.
  • Thuutha wa bendera ya mũthia (kana rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa 45 nginya 75 cia sekondi cia mũthemba rĩathira), ciaria hema yaku na ũtuĩre nĩguo.
  • Mĩtugo ya gũthiĩ: nyũmba cia mĩguĩko cia arrow kana W, A, S, D kũrĩ keyboard; thimuni, tumia tũbũtani tũrĩ thĩ ya ũrori (ũikĩre itũũre nĩguo ũthiĩ kana ũcookerere). Kũrĩ kũciaria, kokota ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya ũkeeri kana ũtume mĩguĩko ya gũcookerera.
  • Mbere nĩũthiĩ na ũtheri, ũrutwo wa kĩhũthĩro (no ũhote kũũrenga). Thuutha wa mũthemba wothe, mapa nĩyonekania njĩra yaku na harĩa waciaririe.

O gũthiĩ kũrĩ na mĩciĩ mĩerũ ya mathangu. Mũciĩ wothe ũrĩ na njĩra imwe cia gũcookerera, nĩ ũndũ ũcio njĩra cia kũkinya bendera nĩ nyingĩ.

Ũrĩa wa gũthoma matokeo maku

  • Ũrĩa njĩra ĩrĩ njega: njĩra īhũthũ kũrenga bendera yothe ikanywa na ũraihu wa njĩra ũthiĩte, igĩgĩrĩrio mĩthemba yothe. 100% nĩ njĩra īhũthũ o hĩndĩ yothe. Ihinda rĩathira, njĩra īhũthũ ĩtigĩte nĩyo ĩtũũraga yathomete.
  • Ũhũũru wa kũonania njĩra: mĩgũrũ ya ũhũũru wa mũguĩko waku wathirĩte na kũringa na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩthiĩ mwerũ kũrĩ hema, igĩgĩrĩrio mĩthemba yothe. 0° nĩ ndungata; kũonania na gũtũũra nĩ kwĩhũũra 90° kũringana na ũrĩa wa gĩtĩĩo.
  • Kũringana na mũthemba: mĩthemba mĩnene ĩrĩ na bendera nyingĩ na nĩ mĩgũrũ.

Andũ arĩa aingĩ magĩĩte mũchezo, matokeo maku nĩmonania ũrĩa ũrĩ kũringana na aciniĩro angĩ a mũchezo uyu. Aca nĩ aciari a site ĩno, ti mũhiano ũrĩa ũgeria andũ othe.

Ũũmbi ũrĩa ũrĩ ũtũũgĩ

Kũrĩ ũrĩa andũ mĩrioni a Sea Hero Quest magĩĩte, ũmenyo wa kũthiĩ njĩra wathiraga ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuuma mĩaka ya ũcookereri wa mbere [1][2]. Arũme magĩĩte atĩ nĩ meega mũno kĩnini kũringana na andũ othe kũrĩa gwothe, nĩ ũtũũgĩ mũnini (Cohen's d = 0.29) ũrĩ mũnene kũrĩ mabũrũri marĩ na ũgĩtĩrĩri mũingĩ wa athuri na atumia [1]. Andũ arĩa akũrĩire itũũra-inĩ rĩa igũrũ rĩa mĩciĩ nĩmaathomaga njĩra wega [4].

  • Mĩaka: kũrĩ aciniĩro ta 560,000 kuuma mabũrũri 57, maciaro mathiraga ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuuma mĩaka 19 [1]. Ũthuthuria wa thuutha wa andũ 3.9 million nĩwonirie ũthira ũcio o na rĩngĩ, ũkĩambĩrĩria mĩaka ya mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ [2].
  • Ũrĩa mũndũ arĩ: Ũrĩa arũme marĩ a mbere nĩ mũnini, kuuma d = 0.09 Norway nginya 0.48 Argentina [1].
  • Kũrĩa wakuĩrĩire: kũrĩ andũ ta 400,000 kuuma mabũrũri 38, arĩa akũrĩire nja ya mĩciĩ mĩnene nĩmaagĩĩte wega, na andũ magĩĩte wega mũno kũrĩ mĩhari ya njĩra ĩrĩ ta ĩrĩa makũrĩire nayo [4].

Aya nĩ maciaro ma mĩhĩrĩga mĩnene ya andũ. Matiigana gũtũũra ũria mũndũ ũmwe arĩ, na mũchezo witũ nĩ ũhoro ũngĩ na Sea Hero Quest, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũtiganie namba ciaku na macio.

Ũrĩa mũchezo uyu ũngĩgũcookeria na ũrĩa ũtigĩrĩte

Uyu nĩ mũchezo wa thimuni, ti kĩgerio kĩa arũgamĩrĩri a ũgima. Kũthiĩ wega kana kũũru nĩ gũtirĩ ũrĩa kũcookeria ũgima waku.

Macookerio ma ciũria cia mara nyingi

Nĩ ũhota kũgeria ũmenyo wa njĩra thimuni-inĩ?

Ĩĩ, na mũchezo ta uyu. Mĩchezo ya ũũmbi ĩgeragia ũmenyo wa njĩra na ũrĩa andũ magĩthiĩ njĩra yagererwo kũrĩ mapa na ũrĩa magĩciaria kũrĩa matandĩkĩire [1]. Mũchezo wa thimuni ndũtũũraga na gũthiĩ, indo cia kũmenya kana gũcookerera mwĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũonania gatagatĩ ka gũthiĩ njĩra cia gĩtũũra-inĩ tu.

Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga andũ amwe matamenye njĩra?

Andũ nĩ matiganĩte mũno ũrĩa magĩthiĩ njĩra. Magerio manene nĩmarutaga ũhoro wa gũtiganĩra na mĩaka na kũrĩa andũ makũrĩire [1][2][4]. Kũrĩ wĩra wa ũũmbi, kũciaria kũrĩa ũtaona nĩ kũgeragio ta ũrĩa gũkũ, na mĩgũrũ ya ũhũũru, na andũ nĩmatiganĩte mũno [5].

Kĩgerio kĩa Helibrain kĩa ũmenyo wa njĩra nĩ gĩa thogora?

Ĩĩ. Mũchezo na matokeo maku mothe nĩ thogora: ndũkena kwandĩka, barua thimuni kana kũrĩha. Helibrain nĩyaga mbeca kuuma mũtuĩre wayo wa thimuni, ũrĩa ũtaheanĩtwo nĩguo ũthiĩ mũchezo uyu.

How this test works

This game looks at two parts of finding your way: reaching places you saw on a map by a short route, and keeping track of where you started. Each level shows a maze map with your tent and numbered flags. Then you walk to the flags in the dark, seeing only a small circle of light, and point back to your tent. You score route efficiency and pointing error. The navigation game Sea Hero Quest used similar measures in 2018.
