In the age of big data, we are constantly inventing new data visualizations to consolidate
massive amounts of numerical information into smaller and more digestible visual formats. …

Decisions are often made under uncertainty. The most that one can do is use prior knowledge
(eg, base rates, prior probabilities, etc.) and make the most probable choice given the …

The P300 Speller is a common brain-computer interface communication system. There are
many parallel lines of research underway to overcome the system’s low signal to noise ratio …

Recent research suggests that humans perceive quantity using a non-symbolic “number
sense.” This sense is then thought to provide a foundation for understanding symbolic numbers …

The new Sans Forgetica (SF) typeface creates perceptual disfluency by breaking up parts of
letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, thereby fragmentizing them. While patterns of …

Research has shown that estimation of correlation from scatter plots is done poorly by both
novices and experts. We tested whether proficiency in correlation estimation could be …

Bar graphs are commonly used graphs, but what do students infer about the data that created
the bar graph? Previously, a drawing task revealed that a minority of students conflate …

Many studies have failed to replicate the disfluency effect (ie disfluent font better than fluent
font) on Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) performance shown in Alter et al.(2007). Those …

Recently, the new Sans Forgetica (SF) typeface, designed to promote desirable difficulty,
has captured the attention of many researchers. Here, we investigate whether SF improves …

Previous research on perception of correlation of scatterplots used scatterplots as stimuli and
asked participants to estimate or compare correlations of those scatterplots. This literature …
