VISUAL SEARCH: THE EFFECTS OF DISPLAY and RESPONSE FORMAT

摘要

The present experiment examined how spatial judgments influenced target detection in a visual search task. Digital and analogue display formats were studied together with odd/even vs. abovehelow judgments. The results indicated an overall advantage for digital display formats, however, the advantage was mediated by the type of judgments that were made. Format differences were minimal when individuals were required to make judgments that involved spatial encoding. Ergonomic implications are addressed.
