Effects of Typical Colors on Identification of Pictograms

Erina KAKEHASHI, Satsuki TANAKA, Jeongseo CHOI, Haruo HIBINO

We aimed to reveal typical-color effects to visual search for pictogram. We assumed that the typical colors shorten the response time of the visual search compared to the non-typical colors in the high color-associativity pictograms. In order to verify this hypothesis, we investigated typical colors and color- associativity of each pictogram in the first experiment and measured the response time of the visual search tasks. We analyzed the data through the color- associativity and the complexity of components perspective. As a result, we obtained the two conclusions as follow; 1) typical colors do not always affect response times, 2) response time is shortened in the typical colors pictograms that have the high color-associativity and consist of only one component. These results contribute to proposing the color design which permits efficiency in searching for pictograms in the facilities.

Characteristics of Consensus Building Process Model in Case of Multiple-choice

Yuri HAMADA, Tatsuya MARUYAMA, Hiroko SHOJI

The authors are conducting research on value creative consensus building process. This study takes in case of multiple-choice as an example of value creative consensus building process. The authors observed the phenomenon that viewpoint has changed by sharing the conception (value). Next, the authors analyzed the process using constructed Bayesian network model and showed that the appearance of the conception influences the selection. As described above, the authors were able to explain quantitatively the structure of consensus building process that has many choices using mathematical method called by Bayesian network. Furthermore, in this study, we compared consensus building processes based on quantity of choices. This shows that the consensus building process can be grasped by the same structure irrespective of the number of choices, and the possibility that various consensus building processes can be discussed by quantitative analysis in the same way.
