Information search is a common task when interacting with computers. Many studies have investigated the characteristics that facilitate effective search, specifically the use of icons and/or text. This study reports a simple experiment involving Kahoot where the goal was to observe searching performance with images and text. The results show that image search was faster, less error prone and preferred by participants compared to text search.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
