Matin, Ethel, Boff, Kenneth R. and Donovan, Rebecca (1987): Raising Control/Display Efficiency with Rapid Communication Display Technology. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 258-262.

Basic research related to the development of a new visual display technology is described. Essentially, this technology enables the serial presentation of independent frames of visual information via a single display window. Experiment 1 compared the serial display with a conventional display consisting of three spatially separated windows which subjects accessed by making saccadic eye movements. The performance measure was time per frame of information for 90% correct responding, called the duration threshold. Large time differences were found, with faster information communication for the serial display in all subjects. Experiment 2 measured the duration threshold in a serial display as a function of the number of sequentially presented frames, which varied between one and twelve. Word search and word recognition tasks were studied. The results showed an approximately linear increase in threshold with number of frames for both tasks.
