Zwine uyu mutambo wa kala

Uyu mutambo u kala zwipiḓa zwivhili zwa u wana nḓila: u kona u wana nḓila, u swika fhethu he na hu vhona kha mapa nga nḓila pfufhi, na u dzula ni tshi ḓivha hune na thoma hone uri ni kone u sumba murahu. Zwenezwi zwivhili zwo bva kha ṱhoḓisiso nga ha u wana nḓila, hu tshi katelwa na mutambo wa luṱingo wo tambiwaho nga vhathu vha dzimilioni [1][2].

Mutambo wa ṱhoḓisiso Sea Hero Quest wo humbela vhatambi uri vha vhe na mapa wa zwiga zwa u ima muhumbuloni, vha kone u livhisa tshikepe khazwo, nahone nga zwiṅwe zwifhinga vha shavhele ngilasi ya mulilo vha i livhise hune vha thoma hone [1]. Mutambo washu ndi washu: ndi maze ya masheleni vhusiku, i re na mapa wayo na milayo yayo. Wo vhulunga zwikalo zwivhili zwa ṱhoḓisiso: uri nḓila ye na tshimbila ngayo yo vha ndapfu hani musi i tshi vhambedzwa na pfufhisa, na uri u sumba haṋu ho khakhea lungafhani.

Kha ṱhoḓisiso ṱhukhu, nḓila ye vhaaluwa vha miṅwahani ya fhasi ha 60 vha ita ngayo kha zwipiḓa zwa u wana nḓila kha Sea Hero Quest yo yelana na nḓila ye vha wana ngayo nḓila kha zwitarata zwa vhukuma London na Paris (u yelana ha 0.46 na 0.57) [3]. Zwenezwo zwo sumbedzwa kha wonoyo mutambo, hu si kha uyu.

Mutambo u shuma hani

  • Zwipiḓa zwa 5, zwi tshi khou aluwa nga vhuhulwane. Tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe tshi thoma nga mapa woṱhe une na u vhona lwa sekondi 8 u swika 12: tende yaṋu, thungo ine na sedza khayo, na zwifaredzi zwo nomborwaho. Thomani u tshimbila musi no no lugela.
  • Nga murahu tshimbilani ni ye kha zwifaredzi nga mutevhe, ni tshi shumisa muhumbulo. Ni vhona tshipulumbu tsha tshedza tsha lamba ḽaṋu fhedzi, nahone mavhonele a shanduka na inwi: phanḓa hu dzula hu nṱha.
  • Musi no fhedza tshifaredzi tsha u fhedzisela (kana tshifhinga tsha sekondi 45 u swika 75 tsha tshipiḓa tshi tshi fhela), sumba hune tende yaṋu ya vha hone ni khwaṱhisedze.
  • Nḓila dza u langa: khii dza misevhe kana W, A, S, D kha khibodo; kha founu, shumisani gunubu dzine dza vha fhasi ha mavhonele (dzudzani munwe u tshimbila kana u mona). U sumba, kokodzani u mona na inwi kana shumisani khii dza u monisa.
  • Hu thoma nga u tshimbila ha uḓowedza kwa pfufhi ho duga mavhonele (ni nga hu pfuka). Nga murahu ha tshipiḓa tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe, mapa u sumbedza nḓila ye na tshimbila ngayo na hune na sumba hone.

Tshifhinga tshoṱhe musi ni tshi tamba hu vha na maze ntswa. Maze iṅwe na iṅwe i na nḓila dziṅwe dza u vhuyelela, ngauralo hu na nḓila dzi fhiraho nthihi dza u ya kha tshifaredzi.

U vhala mvelelo yaṋu

  • U shumisa nḓila zwavhuḓi: nḓila pfufhisa yoṱhe ine ya fhira kha zwifaredzi yo kovhekanywa nga vhulefu ha nḓila ye na tshimbila, ha anganyiselwa kha zwipiḓa zwoṱhe. 100% zwi amba uri no shumisa nḓila pfufhisa tshifhinga tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe. Arali tshifhinga tsho fhela, nḓila pfufhisa ye ya sala i tshi ya kha tshipikwa i dzhiiwa sa nḓila ye na tshimbila.
  • Vhukhakhi ha u sumba: uri musevhe waṋu wo pambuwa nga digirii nngana u bva kha mutalo wo livhaho u ya kha tende, ha anganyiselwa kha zwipiḓa zwoṱhe. 0° ndi u livhisa ho fhelelaho; arali na sumba huṅwe na huṅwe nga khombo, nga u anganyela ni ḓo pambuwa nga 90°.
  • Nga tshipiḓa: zwipiḓa zwihulwane zwi na zwifaredzi zwinzhi nahone zwi a konḓa.

Musi ho no tamba vhathu vhanzhi, mvelelo yaṋu i ḓo dovha ya sumbedza uri ni vhambedzana hani na vhaṅwe vhatambi vha uyu mutambo. Vhenevho ndi vhaeni vhaṅwe vha ino webusaithi, a si vhathu vho nangiwaho u imela vhathu vhoṱhe.

Ṱhoḓisiso dzi wana mini?

Kha data ya vhatambi vha Sea Hero Quest vha dzimilioni, vhukoni ha u wana nḓila ho vha vhu tshi khou fhungudzea nga zwiṱuku nga zwiṱuku u bva musi vhathu vha tshi thoma vhualuwa [1][2]. Nga u anganyela, vhanna vho ita zwavhuḓi u fhira vhafumakadzi nga zwiṱuku kha mashango oṱhe; phambano yo vha ṱhukhu (Cohen's d = 0.29), ya vha khulwane kha mashango ane a vha na u sa lingana ha mbeu nga vhuimo ha nṱha [1]. Vhathu vhe vha alutshela nnḓa ha miḓi mihulwane vho kona u wana nḓila khwine [4].

  • Miṅwaha: kha vhatambi vha 560,000 u bva kha mashango a 57, kushumele kwo dzulela u tsela fhasi u bva kha miṅwaha ya 19 [1]. Ṱhoḓisiso ya murahu ya vhatambi vha 3.9 miḽioni yo wana u tsela fhasi hu fanaho, hu re tsini na mutalo, u bva miṅwahani ya fumbili ya mathomo [2].
  • Mbeu ya vhudzekani: vhuthihi ha vhanna ha u vha na nṱha ho vha huṱuku, u bva kha d = 0.09 ngei Norway u swika kha 0.48 ngei Argentina [1].
  • Hune na alutshela hone: kha vhathu vha ṱoḓaho u vha 400,000 u bva kha mashango a 38, vhe vha alutshela nnḓa ha miḓi vho shuma khwine, nahone vhathu vho shuma khwine kha nzudzanyo dza mitshatshani dzi fanaho na dze vha alutshela khadzo [4].

Idzi ndi ndinganyelo dza zwigwada zwihulwane vhukuma. A dzi ambi zwinzhi nga muthu muthihi, nahone mutambo washu wo fhambana na Sea Hero Quest, ngauralo ni songo vhambedza nomboro dzaṋu na dzavho.

Zwine uyu mutambo wa nga ni vhudza na zwine wa sa nga ni vhudze

Uyu ndi mutambo wa kha tshikirini, a si ndingo ya zwa vhulwadze. U tamba zwavhuḓi kana luvhi a zwi ambi tshithu nga ha mutakalo waṋu. U ḓowela u shumisa zwilanguli ndi zwa ndeme mathomoni, ndi ngazwo hu na u tshimbila ha uḓowedza. Mvelelo yaṋu i dovha ya bva kha tshishumiswa tshaṋu na uri ni tamba mitambo mingana. Vhambedzani na musi ni tshi lingedza hafhu.

Mbudziso dzine dza anzela u vhudziswa

Ni nga lingedza u ḓivha thungo kha inthanethe?

Ee, nga mutambo u fanaho na uyu. Mitambo ya ṱhoḓisiso i kala u ḓivha thungo nga uri vhathu vha swika hani fhethu he vha hu vhona kha mapa vha sa monamoni, na uri vha kona u sumba hani hune vha thoma hone [1]. Mutambo wa kha tshikirini a u kateli u tshimbila, zwiga zwa fhethu na u monisa muvhili, ngauralo u sumbedza tshipiḓa tshithihi fhedzi tsha nḓila ya u tshimbila shangoni ḽa vhukuma.

Ndi ngani vhaṅwe vhathu vha sa koni u ḓivha thungo zwavhuḓi?

Vhathu vha fhambana vhukuma kha vhukoni ha u wana nḓila. Ṱhoḓisiso khulwane dzi zwi ṱumanya na miṅwaha na hune vhathu vha alutshela hone [1][2][4]. Kha mishumo ya ṱhoḓisiso, u sumba fhethu hune na sa hu vhoni hu kaliwa nga nḓila i fanaho na ya hafha, sa vhukhakhi nga digirii, nahone vhathu vha fhambana vhukuma kha zwenezwo [5].

Ndingo ya u ḓivha thungo ya Helibrain ndi mahala?

Ee. Mutambo na mvelelo yaṋu yo fhelelaho ndi zwa mahala: a hu ṱoḓei u ḓiṅwalisela, email kana mbadelo. Helibrain i wana tshelede kha app yayo, ine ni sa i ṱoḓi u itela uyu mutambo.

Ndingo dzi elanaho

Vhona ndingo dzoṱhe dza muhumbulo dza mahala dza 43

Ni khou ṱoḓa u ita izwi ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe? App ya Helibrain (zwino i wanala nga Luisimane fhedzi) i na pulane ya mahala na dziṅwe pulane dzi badelwaho.

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.
