文具が配置されたテーブルから知覚される乱雑さ

抄録

I investigated the relationship between the layout of objects placed on a table and perception of order and disorder. In developing a system for tidying up tables through the cooperation between a robot and a human, it was necessary to identify table-tops that people consider to be untidy. Therefore, experiments were conducted in which participants were asked to evaluate the degree of order seen in images of tables that were presented to them. In this study, I used patterns consisting of several images of single stationery placed on a table. Participants were also asked to indicate the number of groups into which the stationery on the table could be separated. The results indicated that objects organized into more groups were rated as untidier than objects organized into a fewer groups.
