LITERATURE SURVEY ON HUMAN FACTORS IN VISUAL DISPLAYS
Abstract
The ability of the human operator to assimilate, process, and use information presented visually, is an important factor in the design of visual displays. This report, which takes the form of an annotated bibliography, was prepared to access the current state of knowledge on this topic. The annotations are organized under four major headings which are: (1) Information Load and Speed, (2) Display Format and Content, (3) Display Integration, and (4) Human Complex Processes as Related to Displays. Under these headings, reports dealing with a variety of sub-topics such as search and detection of visual targets, recognition and interpretation of display elements, human information processing and channel capacity, signal presentation rate, coding, S-R compatibility, and decision making are to be found. Each of the four parts contains introductory text which analyzes and evaluates the annotations contained in the part. (Author)
