Findlay, John M., Davies, Simon P., Kentridge, Robert, Lambert, Anthony J. and Kelly, Justine (1988): Optimum Display Arrangements for Presenting Visual Reminders. In: Jones, Dylan M. and Winder, R. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers IV August 5-9, 1988, University of Manchester, UK. pp. 453-464.

“Developments in technology now allow designers to make use of a wide variety of layouts to present material at an interactive terminal. Our understanding of perceptual and cognitive processes shows that various tradeoffs will need consideration in evaluating such layouts (availability of material vs screen clutter; reliance on user memory vs use of reminders etc). We approach these through the framework of attentional switching. We shall report an experimental study which evaluates these tradeoffs in a frequently encountered text editing situation. Our editor may be set to either 'insert' or 'overtype' mode. This information can be displayed with varying prominence in a peripheral window on the screen, displayed as a change of cursor, or omitted from the screen display. We have monitored user interaction at a keystroke level during text editing sessions and show that the different forms of presentation of reminder information can result in substantial differences in performance.”
