The effects of different interface presentation modes and users' individual differences on users' hypertext information access performance

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction effects of different interface presentation modes (text-only and text/graphic) and individual differences (cognitive style and computer experience) on users' hypertext information access performance. The study employed a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design. The three independent variables were cognitive style (field dependent, field independent), level of computer experience (less experience, more experience), and interface presentation mode (text-only, text/graphic). Performance was assessed by task scores, completion time, number of cards searched, and number of blocking loops.
