Nancy S. Tanner, Donald L. Fisher · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 1988

This paper presents a model which can help select the representation of an object which will speed search the most (i.e., the optimal representation) when there are several equally meaningful representations available.
