Webb, Jayson M., Sorenson, Paul F. and Lyons, Nic P. (1989): An Empirical Approach to the Evaluation of Icons. In ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 21 (1) pp. 87-90.

“This poster provides a definition and taxonomy for iconic communication and describes the use of formal psychological tools and methods in the evaluation of icons. The methods that can be usefully applied include: 1. Psychophysics 2. Scaling 3. Recognition/Memory Testing 4. Statistical Modeling / Analysis Examples of some of these approaches are provided from pilot studies currently under way at HP. Analyses used include Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) and Cluster analysis. Results can be applied to development of metrics, standard methods, and design guidelines.”

1987

Edit | Del

Webb, Jayson M. and Kramer, Arthur F. (1987): Learning Hierarchical Menu Systems: A Comparative Investigation of Analogical and Pictorial Formats. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 978-982.

“The studies investigated the relative efficacy of different instructional aids for the learning and use of a hierarchical database system. Previous research has suggested that subjects who study a spatial map of the structure and objects in a database perform better on data retrieval tasks than subjects who study other types of material. The results of the present studies suggest that analogies are useful instructional aids for learning hierarchical databases.”
