Effect of instruments arrangement for human monitoring behavior
T. Miyoshi, Atsuo Murata · 2002
We carried out two experiments in order to investigate the affective factors for sampling behavior in a multiple-instruments setting. The first experiment was conducted in order to test whether or not the sampling behavior would always be affected by the arrangements of fast instruments. The second experiment was designed to compare the effect of the shape of arrangements with one of eye transitions during trials, and revealed which of them affected the sampling behavior more strongly. In the sampling behavior of multiple instruments, the fast instruments were mainly sampled and the sampling performance was better in condition where the fast instruments were located in a single group. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the eye transitions affected the sampling performance more strongly than the shape of the arrangements under certain conditions.
