| dc.description.abstract | Thirty-six participants used a static version of either LifeLines, a graphical interface, or a Tabular representation to answer questions about a database of temporal personal history information. Results suggest that overall the LifeLines representation led to much faster response times, primarily for questions which involved interval comparisons and making intercategorical connections. A “first impression” test showed that LifeLines can reduce some of the biases of the tabular record summary. A post-experimental memory test led to significantly (p<.004) higher recall for LifeLines. Finally, simple interaction techniques are proposed to compensate for the problems of the static LifeLines display’s ability to deal with precise dates, attribute coding and overlaps. | en |
| dc.description.sponsorship | This work was supported in part by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice. We want to thank Ben 258 D. L. Alonso et al. Figure 7. In the ®nal prototype for the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice a `pop-up box’ reveals full labels and dates when the cursor is placed over the events (similar to balloon help; here showing the date of the narcotics possession case); zooming is available to show more details, and the lower portion of the screen is reserved for a textual list of event details that can be ®ltered by event type (here placement events). Shneiderman for his advice and encouragement, Jason Ellis for writing the data collection software, and Ara Kotchian and Janet Sumida for the their help managing the experiment. | |
