چکیده
Our research focuses on the use of visual analysis tools. In this paper, we examine the differences between expert and novice financial analysts using a visual analytics tool. Our formal study involving 10 experts and 10 novices indicates there are significant differences in usage patterns between the two groups that potentially impact the design of tools to aid in analysis and sensemaking.

Mechanisms and neural basis of object and pattern recognition: a study with chess experts.
Comparing experts with novices offers unique insights into the functioning of cognition, based on the maximization of individual differences. Here we used this expertise approach to disentangle the mechanisms and neural basis behind two processes that contribute to everyday expertise: object and pattern recognition. We compared chess experts and novices performing chess-related and -unrelated (...
متن کاملSpatial Abilities of Expert Clinical Anatomists’: Comparing Spatial Abilities between Novices, Intermediates, and Experts in Anatomy
Spatial ability has been found to be a good predictor of success in learning anatomy. However, little research has explored whether spatial ability can be improved through anatomy education and experience. This study had two aims: 1, to determine if spatial ability is a learned or inherent facet in learning anatomy and 2, to ascertain if there is any difference in spatial ability between expert...
متن کاملDo experts and novices direct attention differently in examining physics diagrams? A study of change detection using the flicker technique
It is known that experts identify or perceive meaningful patterns in visual stimuli related to their domain of expertise. This study explores the speed with which experts and novices detect changes in physics diagrams. Since change detection depends on where individuals direct their attention, differences in the speed with which experts and novices detect changes to diagrams would suggest diffe...
متن کاملHow to Convey Perceptual Skills by Displaying Experts’ Gaze Data
Complex tasks with a visually rich and dynamic component, like classifying locomotion patterns in moving, colorful fish, require the acquisition not only of conceptual but also of perceptual skills. In a previous study expertise differences were examined on a performance and process level by means of eye tracking and verbal protocols. It revealed that experts attended more to relevant aspects o...
متن کاملSupramarginal activity in interoceptive attention tasks
Interoceptive (feelings from inside organs) attention/awareness (IAA) is a body-related aspect of cognition that pursues homeostasis by detecting afferent signals, and there are practices aimed at focusing one's attention and awareness towards such feelings inside one's own body. There is a claim that these practices improve health which is one reason that neural correlates of such practices an...
