Performance evaluation of display media, color, pattern, and movement in passive type of cognitive process

A man-machine system forces a person to concurrent work, for example a control and an observation, occasionally plural controls and observations. Processes to recognize information also are included in this work. The cognitive processes are not necessarily executed in a simple form. Each process sometimes has a different form respectively which is a passive or active type. In the passive type of process, as the recognition is driven by data, the performance of recognizing information greatly depends on the characteristics of display media. In this paper, the performance of three display media: color; pattern; and movement, are examined in the passive type of cognitive process. The other works that are concurrent with the cognitive processes are classified into three levels: skill; rule; and knowledge. The performance of display media also depends on the levels; the authors discuss a relation among them
