Scientific results are communicated visually in the literature through diagrams, visualizations, and photographs. In this thesis, we developed a figure processing pipeline to classify more than 8 million figures from PubMed Central into different figure types and study the resulting patterns of visual information as they relate to scholarly…

Tabular data is pervasive in the form of spreadsheets and relational databases. Although tables often describe multivariate data without explicit network semantics, it may be advantageous to explore the data modeled as a graph or network for analysis. Even when a given table design conveys some static network semantics, analysts may want to look…

Understanding how the periodic table of elements is organized and how to read information from it is fundamental for understanding chemistry. Introductory chemistry courses usually include discussions detailing what elemental information can be determined by virtue of its position on the periodic table. Although many people have been exposed to…

Discusses the use of Web log analysis to help understand user visit patterns to Web sites and describes the use of computer software to generate a variety of interactive visualizations of log data that can be used to explore server data across various dimensions. Explores difficulties of data collection, presentation, and interpretation.…

Demonstrates visualization techniques using the tuple frequency method that helps organize data generated in computational studies of literary style. Two-dimensional representations of the style of the authors of "The Federalist Papers" are explained that were used to determine the authorship of unattributed papers. (Contains 13…

Presents activities where students visualize three dimensional figures, construct tables, discover patterns in the tables, and use the patterns to make predictions. (PK)

An instrument measuring visual memory span in long-term memory was tested on 239 adults using pictures of common objects. Correlations were found between the number of images recalled and age, level of education, level of income, intelligence, sex, and social activity. (Contains 21 references.) (Author/JOW)

This study attempted to verify an earlier finding that visual imagery does not desynchronize alpha rhythms, to determine if the revisualization of a nocturnal dream is desynchronizing beyond the expectation to request revisualization of a dream, and to demonstrate that hot images are produced by the repressed aims of drives. (Author/RK)

Presents a proposed information environment (PROPIE) for enhanced interaction and value-adding of electronic documents that allows users multiple ways to query intuitively and navigate information in an electronic document. Highlights include user interface technologies; visualization and interactive techniques; query and browsing processes; and…

Using visual and auditory memory sequencing tests with 140 children aged 8-10, this study aimed to investigate the assumption that visual and auditory memory are important component functions in children's spelling. (Author)

Changes in manipulative play with objects were examined in a longitudinal sample of 10 boys and 9 girls tested at ages 9, 13, and 18 months. Stability of individual differences in play was also examined. Each child was observed individually for 7 minutes in a room in which a tea set was the only toy present. Seven types of play behavior were…

Study examined the hypothesis that individual differences are unrelated to types of imaging, and the interrelation of imagery modalities as measured by different assessment devices. (Authors/MB)

Discussion of mapping and visualizing in scholarly literature focuses on the development of software called HistCite for generating chronological maps of collections, where all cited references for source documents are captured, using scientific literature as an example. Generates tables of the most-cited works to help searchers identify the most…

The visual imagery of kindergarten, third, and sixth graders was tested via a continuous visual recognition test in which subjects were to identify repeated pictures of familiar and nonsense objects. (Editor)

Purpose of the study was to investigate those stable characteristics of children which allow some to learn more efficiently under some conditions and others to learn more efficiently under other conditions. (Author)
