: With regard to the design of information content in information display, it is often claimed that the abstraction hierarchy
(AH) of the work domain should be considered as a basis for identifying and structuring the information content. The primary
advantage of AH-based analysis and design is that functionally abstracted information can systematically be identified and
provided to the operator, which has rarely been presented in traditional displays. This study evaluated the effectiveness
of providing functional information, which was abstracted and represented based on goal–means analysis along the AH, to the
operator in two task situations (fault diagnosis and operation). The results showed that the operator’s performance was improved
with the high-level information, and the latter’s utility became greater when the goal–means relations between information
at different abstraction levels were exhibited. From the results, three design principles for information display can be drawn.
First, information should be identified and displayed at multiple abstraction levels. Second, the goal–means relations among
the abstraction levels should be explicitly presented, especially for analytical cognitive tasks. Third, information layout
should support information integration along decomposition structure within an abstraction level as well as along abstraction
levels. |
