A Comparative Evaluation of Tabular and Graphical Presentation Styles for Information Retrieval Search Results

چکیده
There has been considerable debate about the relative merits of tabular and graphical presentation styles but experimental results are contradictory. One source of these inconsistencies might lie in mismatches between spatial/symbolic tasks and symbolic/spatial presentations. A comparative evaluation of tabular and graphical presentation styles for information retrieval search results was conducted, where spatial or symbolic data retrieval tasks were matched with appropriate spatial or symbolic data presentations. However, when sixty participants performed ten presentation-matched information retrieval tasks, no performance advantages were observed. We suggest that an additional dimension of data relevance to task takes precedence over the match between task and presentation.
