摘要
21 subjects were required to complete an icon visual search experiment in order to investigate the effects of number of color and color consistency on icon visual search efficiency, and their behavior and eye movement data were collected. Experimental results show that number of color can affect the icon's search efficiency. The search time and number of fixations for single color icons is obviously less than that for double color icons and three color icons. Color consistency has more obvious impact on icon visual search efficiency. The behavior data and eye movement data show that the visual search efficiency is higher when the colors between icons are not consistent. The less the number of color is, the higher the search efficiency is. Results suggest that increasing the number of color can reduce the icon's visual search efficiency on some level. Using color to enlarge the difference among icons can improve the visual search efficiency more effectively. © 2016, Zhejiang University Press. All right reserved.
