Abstract:
This study investigated effects of both translational and rotational motion and display polarity on a visual identification task. Three different motion types--heave, roll, and pitch--were compared with the static (no motion) condition. The visual task was presented on two display polarities, black-on-white and white-on-black. The experiment was a 4 (motion conditions) x 2 (display polarities) within-subjects design with eight subjects (six men and two women; M age = 25.6 yr., SD = 3.2). The dependent variables used to assess the performance on the visual task were accuracy and reaction time. Motion environments, especially the roll condition, had statistically significant effects on the decrement of accuracy and reaction time. The display polarity was significant only in the static condition.
