Abstract

This study was to examine dominance of information modality in the presentation with combination of different types of information. Accuracy and reaction time were measured in the tasks with 2 or 3 types of information presented synchronously in semantically congruent or incongruent conditions. The results showed that spatial information dominated over visual and auditory information and relative to auditory information, visual dominance took place. It is suggested that as to the design of system display and control, spatial information should be considered in the first place; however, on the basis of previous results that task performance changed according to different response modalities, stimulus-response compatibility should be primarily satisfied as a precondition. Although the results supported the hypothesis that visual information dominated auditory information, because of the physical space limitation of display, the visual information arrangement should be considered in the system with spatial and visual information combined together rather than presented independently.
