| Abstract(in English) | In the present paper, firstly, we investigated the characteristics of people who provided the intelligible description of a route. Secondly, we explored the relation between the components in route descriptions and the characteristics of the describers. Eighteen students who were asked to describe a route in their own campus. The participants completed the Japanese Wechsler Adults Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). In addition, their extents of empathy were measured with Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). These results indicated that a person who can provide the most intelligible description has a higher empathic concern, which is necessary to consider intelligibility of the description to the addressees, as well as higher spatial abilities, which are necessary to specify spatial relationships between the traveler and environmental features or among environmental features. In particular, the empathic concern led to the use of distinctive features of the landmarks or pathways. |
