Spatial exploration patterns determine navigation efficiency: trade-off between memory demands and distance travelled.
A total of 41 participants explored a novel square-shaped environment containing five identical boxes each hiding a visually distinct object. After an initial free exploration the participants were required to locate the objects first in a predetermined and subsequently in an optional order task. Two distinct exploration strategies emerged: Participants explored either along the main axes of th...
متن کاملSpatial Discounting versus Transport: A Trade-Off Changing across Distance
Human preferences are found to be characterized by a neglect of impacts occuring in the future or at a distance. Concerning the spatial dimension, diffusion of pollution may justify this reduced concern. There are many cases, however, where spatial discounting is not justified. Such cases increase in importance with eased world trade, when consumers become responsible for impact increasingly lo...
متن کاملThe Trade-off Between Fast Learning and Dynamic Efficiency
In both static and dynamic, independent private values setups, the efficient allocation is implementable if the distribution of agents’ values is known. Lack of knowledge about the distribution is inconsequential in the static case. But, if distribution of agents’ values is not known in a dynamic framework, and if the designer gradually learns about it by observing present values, endogenously ...
متن کاملBreaking the trade-off between efficiency and service.
For manufacturers, customers are the open wallets at the end of the supply chain. But for most service businesses, they are key inputs to the production process. Customers introduce tremendous variability to that process, but they also complain about any lack of consistency and don't care about the company's profit agenda. Managing customer-introduced variability, the author argues, is a centra...
متن کاملOptimal Trade-off Between Energy Efficiency and Average Delay
In wireless networks consisting of sensors and mobile devices, battery power is a severe resource constraint. Energyefficient communication techniques are therefore crucial to the long-term survivability of the network. In communication theory, it is well known that for a bandlimited additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with bandwidth W and onesided noise spectral level N0, the minimum ...
