CHECK-READING ACCURACY AS A FUNCTION OF DIAL ALIGNMENT IN AN EXTENDED-POINTER DIAL DISPLAY.
Abstract
Two simulated dial displays were compared in a checkreading task. The pointers were aligned at 12 o'clock in one display and at 9 o'clock in the other. The dial displays were presented to 30 subjects who were asked to indicate whether the display contained a deviant pointer and, if so, to locate it. The data indicate that subjects performed about equally well with the two pointer alignments. Locations of the deviant dials within the displays were an important determinant of the number of deviant pointers detected. (Author)
