Abstract

Conceptual models are used to help professionals understand complex information systems and solve problems during systems analysis and design. Because single model often do not represent all relevant information, typically multiple models are used in combination. To design effective combinations of models, we propose a systematic approach that uses color highlighting to foreground overlapping concepts between multiple models to help readers identify corresponding information between models. We conducted two empirical studies – an online experiment and an eye-tracking experiment – to evaluate the cognitive efficacy of this approach. Our findings suggest that color highlighting can somewhat improve participants’ domain understanding but not the efficiency of problem-solving. Findings from the eye-tracking study suggest that the use of color can have both beneficial and harmful effects, depending on the extent of overlap.

有效呈现多个概念模型的本体重叠
概念模型用于帮助专业人员理解复杂的信息系统,并在系统分析和设计过程中解决问题。由于单一模型往往不能代表所有相关信息,因此通常需要将多个模型结合起来使用。为了设计有效的模型组合,我们提出了一种系统方法,即使用颜色高亮显示多个模型之间重叠的概念,帮助读者识别模型之间的相应信息。我们进行了两项实证研究--在线实验和眼动跟踪实验--来评估这种方法的认知功效。我们的研究结果表明,颜色高亮可以在一定程度上提高参与者的领域理解能力,但不能提高解决问题的效率。眼动跟踪研究的结果表明,根据重叠的程度,颜色的使用既有好处也有坏处。
