Usage des organisateurs anti-entropique dans les documents électroniques : approche expérimentale des fenêtres ponctuelles
1999
International audience; Les documents électroniques permettent de nombreuses manières d'organiser, de présenter et d'accéder à l'information. Une utilisation pertinente de ces options par les auteurs requiert une bonne connaissance des effets que ces choix ont sur la représentation cognitive et les traitements faits par l'utilisateur. Cette approche des documents électroniques, sur la base du concept de représentation mentale, fournit un cadre d'analyse des structures et signaux propres à ce type d'écriture. Parmi ces signaux que nous appelons « organisateurs para-linguistiques » pour les distinguer de leurs équivalents purement textuels, un ensemble est destiné à réduire l'entropie due à l…
Pop-Up Windows and Information Retrieval
1997
Communication affichée; International audience; Paralinguistics organizers such as parenthesis, footnotes, and pop-up fields on screen, should play an important role signalling the writer's “minimization” intention when secondary points are concerned. This experiment investigated the role of pop-up fields compared to brackets in an information retrieval task. The results showed that, in this kind of task, putting secondary pieces of information into pop-up fields significantly speeded the search process compared to a condition in which the same information was displayed in brackets.
Intégrer des informations en escamots dans les textes techniques : quels effets sur les processus cognitifs ?
1998
Though computerized sytems now offer a wide range of options for accessing and displaying text or text-picture information, little is known about their effects on the user's cognitive processes. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a computer-specific display (pop-up window) which consists in displaying some pieces of information in windows that appear only under user's action. Experiments were carried out to compare the pop-up window device with other devices used on paper. The experiments dealt with text only as well as text-picture documents and involved various tasks. Results are discussed from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
Ergonomie des documents techniques informatisés : expériences et recommandations sur l'utilisation des organisateurs para-linguistiques
1998
Despite an increasing development, the design of computerized documents is still based on intuitive or esthetics concerns, rather than on experimental evidence. However a large body of literature has investigated the effects of various display factors, both on a perceptual and on a cognitive level. We propose here a review of research and its implication on the design of computerized documents.
