Visual verbs

Abstract: Arrows, when used to depict the direction of movement in procedural illustrations, may be ambiguous with regard to the actual direction in which movements should occur. This ambiguity results from problems in translating threedimensional space to the two-dimensional display planes of the printed page and the computer monitor. We discuss sources of the ambiguity and possible solutions.

“…Ryan's and Schwartz's (1956) and Hagen's (1974) work showed that illustrations depicting a particular object carried accurate information that specified or identified an object and increased the speed of information acquisition when information depicted in pictures was accentuated or isolated, respectively. Together with recent studies, these suggest that relevant pictorial materials can be modified to accentuate certain aspects of the pictures to facilitate learning, including clarifying meanings such as the internal and external dynamics of the depicted object (Agrawala et al, 2003;Heiser & Tversky, 2002;Horton, 1994;Krull & Sharp, 2006;Kurata & Egenhofer, 2005;Najjar, 1998;Thom, 1975). At the same time, augmenting pictures with arrows can convey additional information to readers, such as causation, direction, relational information, movement, and sequence (Agrawala et al 2003;Heiser & Tversky, 2002;Lowe & Pramono, 2006;de Koning et al, 2007;Tversky, Zacks, Lee, & Heiser, 2000).…”

“…Kurata's and Egenhofer's (2005) work identified a number of meanings from arrows depending on their usage in relation to the pictures or diagrams. One meaning from arrows is movement when used in relation to locations in a picture or diagram (de Koning, et al, 2007;Hegarty, 1992;Horton, 1994;Krull & Sharp, 2006). If several arrows link geographical regions together with start-and end-points, then it can indicate causality or direction of movement.…”
