The Buggy Lab #2

The Car Lab #2

     Just to recap, here are the same definitions it is crucial to know:

1. reference point: non-moving point to start from or compare the position to
2. displacement:  the distance from positions
3. position: distance from the reference point in a specific direction

     Here are some questions that I asked myself during the class discussion:

1. Should we force the line through the origin?  

     The answer is no.  This is because forcing it through the reference point is altering our data.  Sure, it is logic that some labs should go through the origin, but it should not be forced.  (0,0) should be considered a point, but the graph should never be forced through it.  

    

     I also think it is neccessary to put some more terminology because I heard this appear in the discussion and did not really understand it.  

cognitive distance: Cognitive Distance is the distance people perceive to exist in a given situation. It is mainly based on peoples judgments about the degree of spatial interaction between points.
