Monitor color and repetition as factors in human-computer interaction

Published: 18 March 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Recall of new information is the basis for reading comprehension and is a fundamental skill that affects virtually every area of human activity in which information is displayed. Because the computer has become the primary means by which information is disseminated, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) factors play an important role in the effectiveness of the process. This paper describes the results of an experiment conducted to study the effect of color and repetition on the comprehension of information displayed by way of a computer monitor.
