Suppose that you draw a sketch of your college campus. In reality, one particular road on campus is vaguely U-shaped, but the right-hand portion of the curve is steeper than the left-hand portion.
According to your drawing, however, the two portions have the same degree of curvature. This example illustrates
a. the 90-degree-angle heuristic.
b. the alignment heuristic.
c. the rotation heuristic.
d. the symmetry heuristic.
Question 2If you were to draw a map of the town or city in which your college is located,
a. you would make the streets intersect at sharp angles, rather than right angles.
b. you would make the streets more curved than they really are.
c. you would tend to make the streets intersect at 90-degree angles.
d. you would show a blending of your college building and the surrounding region, even if the boundary is really quite clear-cut.
Question 3Suppose that you are trying to draw a map showing part of the city or region you live in. Your map is likely to
a. show streets intersecting at extreme angles, rather than right angles.
b. show roads and rivers that are much more curved in your map than they really are.
c. show curves that are more symmetrical than they really are.
d. represent curves and angles as being much closer to each other than they really are.
