The described experiment investigates how (expert and novice) map users retrieve information from memory that was previously gathered from screen maps. A user study was conducted in which participants had to draw a map from memory. During this task, they were instructed to say out loud every thought that came into mind. Both user groups addressed the same general cognitive structures and processes to solve the task at hand. However, the experts’ background knowledge facilitated the retrieval process and allowed them to derive extra information through deductive reasoning. The novices used more descriptive terms instead of naming the objects and could remember less, and less detailed map elements.

Investigating the effectiveness of an efficient label placement method using eye movement data / Kristien Ooms in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 3 (August 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 3 (August 2012) . - pp 234 - 246 Titre : Investigating the effectiveness of an efficient label placement method using eye movement data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kristien Ooms, Auteur ; Philippe De Maeyer, Auteur ; Veerle Fack, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 234 - 246 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie numérique [Termes IGN] carte interactive [Termes IGN] placement des écritures [Termes IGN] utilisateur Résumé : (Auteur) This paper focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of dynamic and interactive maps in relation to the user. A label placement method with an improved algorithmic efficiency is presented. Since this algorithm has an influence on the actual placement of the name labels on the map, it is tested if this efficient algorithms also creates more effective maps: how well is the information processed by the user. We tested 30 participants while they were working on a dynamic and interactive map display. Their task was to locate geographical names on each of the presented maps. Their eye movements were registered together with the time at which a given label was found. The gathered data reveal no difference in the user’s response times, neither in the number and the duration of the fixations between both map designs. The results of this study show that the efficiency of label placement algorithms can be improved without disturbing the user’s cognitive map. Consequently, we created a more efficient map without affecting its effectiveness towards the user.
