Ignoring Irrelevant Information on Displays

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3

Abstract

This paper presents empirical and modeling work aiming to contribute toward a coherent theory of how humans select relevant information and discharge irrelevant information presented on displays. Two empirical studies are presented. The first study investigated how previously attended information is prevented from interfering with currently processed information. A theoretical account together with two different implementations of this account are put forward in order to explain the empirical data. A second study was designed in order to disentangle between these two implementations. The second study generated new questions and hypotheses regarding the balance between automatic and controlled discharge of irrelevant information.
