Evaluating Information Presentation Formats and Display Designs for Supporting System-User Concept Communication: An Experimental Study

Effective visual presentation of information has become an increasing challenge in information systems research and practice. In this study, we examined the effects of information presentation on a system’s communicating to its users the respective degree of relevance of different systemsuggested items. Based on the (visual) attributes discussed by the referenced theories, different presentation displays, imagery and serial-order, were designed and evaluated in a computerbased experiment that included more than four hundred undergraduate subjects. Our overall results suggest that the imagery presentation format appears to be more effective than the serialorder presentation format in supporting the target concept communication. Imagery displays that simultaneously combine the use of size, distance and color are evidently more effective than designs based on exclusive (i.e., single) use of any of these visual attributes. Imagery displays based on size or distance appear to be more effective than color-based designs. Several implications for information presentation research and practice can be obtained from our findings and are also discussed.
