TLDR
The concept of the proximity compatibility principle (PCP) is described and its relevance to display design is demonstrated: Displays relevant to a common task or mental operation should be rendered close together in perceptual space (close display proximity).Abstract:
In this report we describe the concept of the proximity compatibility principle (PCP) and demonstrate its relevance to display design: Displays relevant to a common task or mental operation (close task or mental proximity) should be rendered close together in perceptual space (close display proximity). Different forms of task proximity are discussed, as are the different information-processing mechanisms that underlie the effects of the several different design manipulations of display proximity. Experimental data that support this process-based elaboration of PCP are then reviewed in design contexts relating to aviation, graphs, display layout, and decision aiding.read more

Computer interface evaluation using eye movements: methods and constructs
TL;DR: Data obtained from eye movements can significantly enhance the observation of users' strategies while using computer interfaces, which can subsequently improve the precision of computer interface evaluations.

The visual communication of risk.
TL;DR: There is a need to ascertain the extent to which graphics and other visuals enhance the public's understanding of disease risk to facilitate decision-making and behavioral change processes.

Design Features of Graphs in Health Risk Communication: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Communicators should not assume that all graphics are more intuitive than text; many of the studies found that patients' interpretations of the graphics were dependent upon expertise or instruction and successful ways to communicate uncertainty about risk are needed.

Why Don't Well-Educated Adults Understand Accumulation? A Challenge to Researchers, Educators, and Citizens.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that stock-flow failure is a robust phenomenon that appears to be rooted in failure to appreciate the most basic principles of accu- mulation, leading to the use of inappropriate heuristics.

The Cognitive Science of Visual‐Spatial Displays: Implications for Design
TL;DR: This paper argues for the importance of cognitive science methods to the design of visual displays and reviews some of the main principles of display design that have emerged from these approaches to date.

A feature-integration theory of attention
Anne Treisman,Garry A. Gelade +1 more
TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

Effects of noise letters upon the identification of a target letter in a nonsearch task
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1-sec tachistoscopic exposure, Ss responded with a right or left leverpress to a single target letter from the sets H and K or S and C. The target always appeared directly above the fixation cross.

Half a century of research on the Stroop effect: an integrative review.
TL;DR: It is concluded that recent theories placing the explanatory weight on parallel processing of the irrelevant and the relevant dimensions are likely to be more sucessful than are earlier theories attempting to locate a single bottleneck in attention.

Beyond IQ: A Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence
TL;DR: In this paper, a triarchic theory for intelligence testing is presented, which is used to test componential models via componential analysis for real-time verbal comprehension and inductive reasoning.
