Duration estimates and users' preferences in human-computer interaction
Article Abstract:
The duration estimates of intervals during which a subject had to wait for the computer's response are similar for all the static displays on computers, among individuals. A direct relation exists between the rate of changes and estimates in dynamic computer displays. Faster rates increase the duration estimates and the slow-changing graphic displays have the shortest estimate duration. The individuals prefer epigrams, cumulative graphic displays, and slower blink rates to static displays. Ratings for graphic displays are not affected by the rate of change.
