A Psychophysical Analysis of Complex Integrated Displays.

Abstract

Five types of complex integrated displays were subjected to multidimensional scaling analyses. The display types were selected to be representative of a variety of characteristics that can result when dimensions are combined in an integrated fashion. These characteristics included perceptual separability, familiarity, emergent properties and perceptual interaction among dimensions. Of primary interest was the question of whether or not the Minkowski scaling metric would be diagnostic or predictive of any of these characteristics, as previous literature had indicated. The results showed that in virtually all cases the Euclidean metric produced better fits than the City-Block metric.
