Abstract

Visual search at subway stations, while subjects transfer or find the exit, were discussed and compared with way-finding in a small maze. The fixation durations on signs and ceiling were distributed from shorter to longer duration. However, durations on the floor were shorter. The fixation movement patterns on signs were repetitive and concentrated. Slanting fixations were not only beyond the occluding edge of the wall, but also beyond column, pedestrians, a stair step and ceiling. After the entire path was learned, number of fixations on the wall, column, and sign decreased, and those on the floor, ceiling, and pedestrians increased.
