....to approach it. Another route goes through the more traditional cognitivist viewpoint. When studying individual cognitive differences and their relationship to how well users navigate large information spaces, a correlation between spatial ability and time spent to find information can be found [22 24]. The higher the spatial ability of the individual, the faster they were found able to find information. In fact, the differences observed could be quite large, sometimes 20 to 1, i.e. it takes the slowest subject 20 times longer to find information compared to the fastest subject. This is clearly ....

Individual Differences in a Spatial-Semantic Virtual Environment - Chen (2000) (2 citations) (Correct)
....(Eckstrom, French, Harman, Derman, 1976) The role of spatial ability in navigating through information structures has been studied over the last decade, ranging from the use of large file structures, database systems, hypermedia, and virtual reality based spatial models. For example, Vicente and Williges (1988) found that spatial ability affected users ability to navigate a large file structure. Campagnoni and Ehrlich (1989) reported that users with good spatial ability used the top level table of contents less frequently than users with lower spatial ability, suggesting that a good spatial ability may ....

....measures to adjust the overall results. 19 Three covariate measures were originally postulated as correlated with 3D interaction skills: 1) spatial visualization skills, 2) simple reaction time, and 3) pointing time. These measures were collected and evaluated as part of Experiment 1. Vicente and Williges (1988) discovered that subjects with low spatial ability often got lost in a hierarchical file structure and therefore performed worse than subjects with higher spatial ability. Spatial skills of an individual were expected to strongly influence performance time of 3D tasks. If subjects spatial skills ....

An Architecture For Adaptive Interfaces - Lennard, Parkes (1995) (Correct)
....if given an interface that matched their capabilities. For example, many studies have concluded that users with a poor spatial ability would be best served with a highly structured dialogue based interface (where the system always takes the initiative) rather than, say, a command based interface [6, 10, 13, 15]. The main disadvantage of adaptive interfaces that has been put forward is that the maxim of consistency is not being upheld if an interface is constantly changing to meet the demands of the user. In the worst case, the problem of hunting occurs [9] where as soon as the user becomes proficient ....

The main disadvantage of adaptive interfaces usually advanced is that the maxim of consistency is not being upheld if an interface is constantly changing to meet the demands of the user. In the worst case, the problem of hunting occurs [Innocent, 1982] where as soon as the user becomes ....

....full data base in the form of a cube, and the currently examined item was highlighted. A study by Vicente and Williges nicely supported the concept of world maps in information retrieval from a hierarchically organized data base in which users had experienced problems of cognitive disorientation [67]. They found that the presence of a map of the file organization, and of a cursor highlighting the momentary position within the file structure, provide significant benefits to user orientation. Building a useful cognitive map of a physical space presented as a virtual environment may be hindered ....
