Cognitive flow of perception and comprehension of visual stimuli Entities in the upper dashed box are cognitive levels mentioned in LRMB, and entities in the bottom box depict the cognitive flow of perception and comprehension of visual stimuli, which consist of interdependent processes, with the former processes serve as basis for the latter ones.

It becomes a studying-worthy issue on whether such conventions can enhance performances and reduce cognitive load when we are performing different tasks. Furthermore, whether the visual conventions can affect...

... role in visual inference, which is characterized by the use of spatial relations to highlight conceptual ones, to represent meaning, and chunk information for computational efficiency [9]. The infer- ence process is a higher cognitive process, which is indicated by Wang et al. [10]in the Layered Reference Model of the Brain (LRMB)(Shown in Fig. 2). Researches on inference in visualization demonstrate that these diagrammatic rep- resentations can improve reasoning, both in aspects of accuracy rate and inference time when compared with sentential representations. Bauer and Johnson-Laird [11] extended the conclusion drawn by Larkin and Simon [2] in target searching only, and found ...

Software systems are one of the most important technologies that are present in every task that humans and computers perform. Humans perform their tasks by using a computer interface. However, because many developers have not been exposed to one or more courses on Human Computer Interaction (HCI), they sometimes create software using their own preferences based on their skills and abilities and do not consult theories that could help them produce better outcomes. A study was carried out to identity whether software that is developed by using Gestalt Theory combined with interface development principles produces better outcomes compared to software developed using developers' current skills. Results show that participants perceived the system that was developed by a team that had been given training about Gestalt Theory and design guidelines had superior perceived quality compared to another team that did not receive the training. However, results should be taken cautiously.
