Brown, Tony J., Salvador, Anthony, O'Hearn, Brian E. and Anderson, Jane E. (1989): Sentence Orientation and Semantic Processing Speed: Applicability to Label Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 470-473.

“Sentence orientation and category size were examined using a sentence verification task to determine whether the rotation of sentences would influence semantic processing. A total of 28 participants were asked to read sentences presented with five levels of rotation (-90, -45, 0, +45, +90) and two category sizes (small and large). A significant difference in the speed of sentence verification was found for sentence orientation. As the degree of rotation increased the time taken to process the sentences increased; this was especially true for vertically aligned sentences (oriented at +90 degrees). The category size variable did not yield a significant main effect. The findings of this study may have direct implications for the positioning of labels on consumer products with varying orientations.”

Brown, Tony J., Poock, Gary K., Aucella, Arlene F., Nusbaum, Howard C. and McCauley, Michael E. (1988): Human Factor Assessment of Automatic Speech Recognition System Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 288-290.

“Various methodologies have been proposed and implemented for the assessment of user performance with automatic speech recognition systems. Many human factors specialists are confronted with the problem of assessment and they need some answers. It is hoped that by concentrating on the human performance issue, with regard to speech recognition systems, some of the issues of assessment can eventually be resolved.”
