Identifying and reducing satisfaction of search errors: How to alleviate dual-target search costs (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Some occupations (e.g., airport luggage screeners, military personnel, radiologists) require highly accurate visual searches. To maximize performance it is important to identify factors that decrease accuracy and then identify means to alleviate thei...

Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In understanding the nature of visual cognition, it is important to determine how individual differences affect performance.
We have found relationships between symptoms of both ADHD and anorexia nervosa and performance on a simple visual search tas... Read More about Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much.

Human search strategies are informed by complex target distribution statistics (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many real-world visual searches contain multiple targets in one display and such searches can be especially error prone. We investigated whether searchers adapt their strategies based on complex statistics of target distributions in multiple-target s...

Social loafing in real life: From social psychology to psychoanalysis (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Designing interfaces that encourage a more effortful cognitive strategy (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Typically, interface design attempts to minimize cognitive load by providing immediately accessible task-relevant information. However, this may have the unintended consequence of encouraging display-based strategies that minimize the degree of cogni...

The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on an ongoing study that explores how UK based designers, in small design consultancies (SDCs), locate information and learn new skills. Semi-structured interviews were used to improve understanding of the context within which thes... Read More about The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies.

Secret histories and the dirty war: The 1970s Second World War film (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper focuses on a neglected period of the British war film (the 1970s) and argues that this was a volatile, unsettled period when the direction and ideology of the war film was in flux. Producers were unclear as to what would engage audiences.... Read More about Secret histories and the dirty war: The 1970s Second World War film.

Care pathway records and variance data: enabling research through the use of ontologies (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Integrated care pathways (ICPs), a fine-grained form of medical guideline including the explicit recording of any deviation, or ‘variance’, could serve as a rich source of data for research. Not only do they incorporate a wealth of operational knowle... Read More about Care pathway records and variance data: enabling research through the use of ontologies.

Modelling the impacts of ATIS accuracy on travellers' route-choice behaviour and risk perception (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

ATIS (Advanced travel information systems) are designed to assist travellers in making sound choices by providing pre-trip and en-route travel information such as travel times on the relevant alternatives and thus reducing uncertainty. However, it is... Read More about Modelling the impacts of ATIS accuracy on travellers' route-choice behaviour and risk perception.

Carfree, low car - what's the difference? (2010)

Dynamic parameter control of interactive local search in UML software design (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

User-centered Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) has been applied to a wide variety of areas, including UML software design. The performance of evolutionary search is important as user interaction fatigue remains an on-going challenge in IEC....
