Item type:Publication, A Generational Cohort Comparison of Icon Selection Accuracy under Varying Conditions of Icon Entropy and Concreteness(2023-01-01) ;Satcharoen, KleddaoTangtisanon, Pikulkaew—The objective of this research was to compare icon selection accuracy under varying icon entropy and concreteness conditions between different generational cohorts (Millennial, Generation X, and Baby Boomers). These generational cohorts have different levels of experience with technology, with younger generations often being framed as “digital natives” and holding stronger technological experience and competence in comparison to older groups. Generational groups also have variations in physiological factors including visual acuity and reaction time. Despite these differences between user groups, many user interaction systems and processes are designed for a single user, rather than considering differences in user processing between different groups. Therefore, this study compares generational cohorts in their icon selection accuracy under varying icon conditions, to help identify what generational differences can be observed in this task. The study selected a sample of 150 participants (n = 50 for each generational cohort). The experiment was a 2☓2☓3 design (entropy (high/low) ☓ abstractness (abstract/concrete) ☓ time (9/6/3 seconds), with each participant completing 60 trials (five questions per entropy/abstractness pair over three timed runs). Results showed that there were significant differences in mean accuracy per trial under all of the time conditions and icon entropy and concreteness conditions. Mean differences showed that under most conditions, Millennial and Generation X participants did not have a significant mean difference, but Baby Boomers were significantly slower under almost all conditions. The implication of this finding is that Baby Boomers are more sensitive to icon abstractness and entropy conditions than other age groups tested. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Icon Size Effect on Selection Speed and Accuracy(2020-12-01)Satcharoen, KleddaoThe objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of icon size on selection speed and accuracy. An experiment was designed for investigation of icon selection on a mobile device. A set of 20 icons, with a combination of six icon sizes (16pix to 96pix square), was used to generate 120 trials per subject (n = 52). Selection time (seconds) and accuracy (accurate/inaccurate) were collected. Data was analyzed using chi-square tests. Analysis of TimexAccuracy showed that 2s had the lowest inaccuracy rates (.84%), while 5s+ had the highest inaccuracy rates (8.86%). When considering Icon SizexTime→Accuracy showed that there were significant differences for most groups. The highest inaccuracy rates were seen for small icons (48pix and smaller), and inaccuracy climbed at higher Time. The implication of this study is that icon size can negatively influence selection speed and that higher selection speed was associated with lower accuracy as well.
