Abstract

This study examines a placement method of the Windows folder icons that makes it easy to search for visual objects as a part of an appropriate screen design in the display work of a VDT (Visual Display Terminal). Visual Recognition of Searching Icons in VDT Work on Junior and Senior High School Students, University Students was compared. The search time becomes remarkably faster when the objects are placed in numerical order than when they are placed at random. In addition, the influence is very obvious when the number of the icons shown increases. We were not able to confirm the influence on search time by vertical direction placement and horizontal direction placement. We were able to classify into roughly 3 types of the way that the viewpoints moved at the time of an icon search. Our subjects put these 3 types together and did searches.
