Interaction with a visual interactive simulation, and the effect of cognitive style

In an experiment conducted to examine user interaction with a visual interactive simulation (VIS), 25 subjects were asked to solve a service capacity and allocation problem using a VIS model that provided 3 different displays: 1. an animation, 2. a listing, and 3. a dynamically changing graphic. Use...

description In an experiment conducted to examine user interaction with a visual interactive simulation (VIS), 25 subjects were asked to solve a service capacity and allocation problem using a VIS model that provided 3 different displays: 1. an animation, 2. a listing, and 3. a dynamically changing graphic. Use of the model was monitored by the simulation program. Compared to a known optimum, performance with the VIS was mediocre, and there was little evidence that any particular pattern of usage affected performance, although performance and absolute time to solve the problem were significantly correlated. However, those who performed well generally had higher confidence in their solution. Subjects had a definite preference for display type. No subject used the listing, and subjects appeared to have had a strong preference for either the animation or the graphic. In measuring users' cognitive style, some weak evidence indicated that preference for display type can be partially explained by cognitive style.
