Abstract :
Sixteen interviews were conducted with civilian orienteers and military scouts using a semi-structured interview technique. Each interviewee was asked to describe a specific incident in which his (her) skill as a navigator had been tested. Subsequent probe questions explored these descriptions, eliciting cues and strategies employed by those navigators in successfully solving their navigational problems. The tabulations of these cues and problem-solving strategies are reported for a randomly selected half of the sample. Implications for the development of a decision-support system are provided
