“…Roth (2003) argued that familiarity with the content of the graph and with conventions in particular domains was important for graphical competencies and ''such competencies do not easily transfer'' (p. 104). In addition, Winn (1993) argued that previous knowledge of the content of a diagram and knowledge of the symbol system used in the display were the most influential factors when searching for information in diagrammatic representations. The consistent occurrence of page-specific factors does not seem to be an artifact of the test construction as we initially feared, but rather a result in accordance with the suggestions made by Roth (2003) and Winn (1993).…”

The consistent occurrence of page-specific factors does not seem to be an artifact of the test construction as we initially feared, but rather a result in accordance with the suggestions made by Roth (2003) and Winn (1993). In fact, such an explanation seems most plausible considering the fact that each page of the graphicacy test had its own theme and its own graphic display.…”

“…Tools such as ultrasound technology are often based on a referential framework to display spatial information. Winn (1993) argues that such graphical information consists of symbols, which have 'emergent properties' such as basic form/shape, texture and colour, a concept which is similar to Treisman's (1988) feature identification. This use of emergent properties can be both beneficial and also a hindrance to accessing information by influencing the ability to discriminate.…”

“…Molitor et al [36] points out that a large number of studies have been concerned with the manipulation of the graphical representation for highly specific situation, and success or failure of the graphical representation is reported on how performance was affected. Winn [37] notes that it is difficult to generalize this precisely because of the idiosyncrasies involved with each graphical representation.…”
