Speed of comprehension of visualized ordered sets.

چکیده
The authors investigated the effects of visual properties of hierarchical graphs on speed of comprehension: planarity (crossing of lines), slopes (orientation of lines), and levels (adjustment of dots). In each of 4 experiments, 30 participants responded to interpretive questions that required comparisons among the elements of the graph. Knowledge provided to participants differed across Experiments 1a, 1b, and 1c; question demands varied in Experiment 2. Analysis of response latencies showed that crossing of lines is the most influential variable independent of orientation, dot adjustment, and question demands. Speed of comprehension decreased with increasing question demands. When question demands were high, orientation of lines also had an effect on speed of comprehension. Preliminary conclusions for the presentation of hierarchical graphs are drawn.

متن کاملGeneral definitions for the union and intersection of ordered fuzzy multisets
Since its original formulation, the theory of fuzzy sets has spawned a number of extensions where the role of membership values in the real unit interval $[0, 1]$ is handed over to more complex mathematical entities. Amongst the many existing extensions, two similar ones, the fuzzy multisets and the hesitant fuzzy sets, rely on collections of several distinct values to represent fuzzy membershi...

This work is devoted to the study of global solution for initial value problem of interval fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative without singular kernel admitting only the existence of a lower solution or an upper solution. Our method is based on fixed point in partially ordered sets. In this study, we guaranty the existence of special kind of ...
متن کاملA duality between fuzzy domains and strongly completely distributive $L$-ordered sets
The aim of this paper is to establish a fuzzy version of the dualitybetween domains and completely distributive lattices. All values aretaken in a fixed frame $L$. A definition of (strongly) completelydistributive $L$-ordered sets is introduced. The main result inthis paper is that the category of fuzzy domains is dually equivalentto the category of strongly completely distributive $L$-ordereds...
