Sequential/Spatial, a Survey of Interactive Information Retrieval Methods for Controlled Experimentation and Evaluation
share
This survey presents studies that investigated non-spatial (sequential) and spatial information retrieval systems in parallel during a battery of information-seeking tasks with respect to user navigational behaviors, incidental learning, retrieval performance, cognitive abilities load, direct manipulation of 2D 3D interfaces, and satisfaction. I consider how information theory has contributed to the concepts of foraging, sense-making, exploration, and how the applied areas of interactive information retrieval (IIR) and cognitive/behavioral psychology have implemented these concepts into architecture, interface design, experimental design, user study, and evaluation methodology.
