This paper evaluates the predictions of two existing models of graph comprehension: BOZ (Casner, 1990) and UCIE (Lohse, 1993). Each model was implemented in Java and was used to make predictions about the relative efficiency of different graphical presentations of numerical data for use in different tasks. These predictions were then compared with the results of human subjects performing the sa...

Event related field responses to line drawings of novel visual objects were recorded in a simple target detection task using whole-head magnetoencephalography. Brain-current-source-density reconstruction indicated that, relative to initial presentations, immediately repeated nontarget stimuli elicited reduced neural activity in a region of cortex extending from the parietal lobe into the superi...

Purpose: Paramedics are routinely called to patients presenting with mental health concerns. Previous literature suggests paramedics find this patient group challenging. However, no study has investigated whether presentations (MHP) more challenging relative other presentations, or certain paramedic variables relate their perceived ability manage MHP. This investigates differences in paramedics...
