Abstract

There are a number of applications in consumer and industrial products environments in which there is a need to display a message in a restricted space. Two general display methods were compared in the present research using an 8-character horizontal display. Text appeared either as a sequence ofsmall right-to-left jumps ('leading'), or as a sequence of whole or partword patterns (rapid serial visual presentations, RSVP]). Upper versus lower-case letters and slow (171 words per minute, WPM) versus fast (260 WPM) presentation rates were compared. In all conditions, sentences were read more accurately in the RSVP format than in the leading format. Recommendations for future displays of verbal messages are discussed.
