How Prior Knowledge Affects the Processing of Visualized Data
Research on how to align information visualization interfaces with user characteristics has oft focused on general visual perceptual models starting from lowlevel feature processing. Yet cognitively-driven “topdown” factors also carry effects. I describe how one such factor—prior knowledge—affects visualization perception and interpretation. This includes highlights from my own research on two ...
متن کاملPrior Pronunciation Knowledge Bootstraps Word Learning
Learners often struggle with L2 sounds, yet little is known about the role of prior pronunciation knowledge and explicit articulatory training in language acquisition. This study asks if existing pronunciation knowledge can bootstrap word learning, and whether short-term audiovisual articulatory training for tongue position with and without a production component has an effect on lexical retent...
متن کاملIntegration of word meaning and world knowledge in language comprehension.
Although the sentences that we hear or read have meaning, this does not necessarily mean that they are also true. Relatively little is known about the critical brain structures for, and the relative time course of, establishing the meaning and truth of linguistic expressions. We present electroencephalogram data that show the rapid parallel integration of both semantic and world knowledge durin...
متن کاملHow prior knowledge affects selective attention during category learning: an eyetracking study.
Research has shown that category learning is affected by (a) attention, which selects which aspects of stimuli are available for further processing, and (b) the existing semantic knowledge that learners bring to the task. However, little is known about how knowledge affects what is attended. Using eyetracking, we found that (a) knowledge indeed changes what features are attended, with knowledge...
