Emotional and Cognitive Assessment of Use of Functional Animation

Abstract

The animation transition in the interface can be divided into two parts: functional animation and delightful animation. In past studies, "function" and "emotion" are often viewed independently. This study is to, with functional transition effect as the research content, investigate whether the cognitive load generated by operation will affect the use of emotions. The author selects 4 experimental samples of animation transition that conform to this study, gets the emotive information in the way of combining the subject's actual operation and subjective questionnaire, and seek the association between cognitive load and emotion, and explore the emotional connection generated in the process of using different types of transitions. The experimental results show that the six faces in the cognitive load will respectively produce unequal connections with pleasure, arousal and dominance at the emotional level, and besides, there will exist emotional and cognitive differences due to different characteristics of animation transition.
