Function Selection with the Tablet: The Effect of Labels for Visual Cuing

Abstract

This study assessed the effects of visual cuing on function selection performance using a fully labeled, a partially labeled and an unlabeled touch sensitive digitizer tablet. The fully labeled tablet duplicated the visual display of function names and zones shown on the CRT which was used to present the task. The partially labeled tablet presented only the outlines of the function areas, while the unlabeled tablet provided no visual cuing on the tablet surface. Subjects provided with tablet labeling (either full or partial) performed the task more rapidly and with fewer errors than the no labeling group. No significant differences were found between the partial and full- labeling groups, or between men and women who performed this task.
