CHECK-READING ACCURACY: ALIGNED DIALS VS. EXTENDED-POINTER DIALS.
Abstract
Two simulated dial displays were compared in a checkreading task. An extended-pointer dial display was compared with an aligned dial display. The two dial displays were presented to 30 subjects who were asked to indicate whether or not the display contained a deviant pointer, and, if so, to locate the deviant pointer. The data indicated that subjects performed about equally well with the extendedpointer dial display and the aligned dial display. However, the location of the deviant dial within the display was an important determinant of the number of deviant pointers detected. (Author)
