With frequent samples to keep us focused, we were instructed at length by our guide, a pipe-thin woman dressed in funky hand-sewn clothes, on the origins of chocolate, its cultivation and, naturally, the virtues of Theo's environmentally conscious method.
Doing precisely as he'd been instructed, Andrei took the length of string from his pocket.
In the standard task (Figure 1A), subjects viewed a horizontal bar (L1) for 1 sec and were instructed to memorize its length.
To evaluate perceived height, participants were given a handheld wand (dowel rod - 0.01 m diameter, 1.22 m length) and instructed to make contact at the base of a wall 1.5 m on their left side (see stick figure in top left of Figure 1).
Participants were instructed to adjust the length of the target line segment and to press the spacebar when they felt that both line segments were equally long.
In order to test this hypothesis, we conducted an experiment in which we instructed subjects to memorize the length of a bar presented on a computer screen and then compare this memorized length to the length of a probe bar.
Each participant scanned each type of material along the X-axis, having been instructed to rhythmically scan a length of 5 cm over 1 s, i.e., 5 cm/s, for 10 s.
In the embodied condition, children started to walk at the beginning of a number line that was taped to the floor and were instructed to choose their stride length so that it segmented the number line into a requested number of pieces.
To calculate children's stride length, children were instructed to walk one at a time across a flat surfaced area of the school playground twice over a 20 metre distance.
Unless instructed to hit a certain target length by your boss, make your presentation as short as possible.
