“…In information-seeking behavior research, comparing the total time takes to complete a task is often considered a measure of performance (Babiker et al, 1991;Dias and Sousa, 1997). According to the results, it can be said that users with different cognitive styles have a similar situation in terms of performance.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study aims to identify the impact of verbal-visual cognitive styles on the level of satisfaction and behavior in the textual and content search of Google Images.Design/methodology/approach“Riding” cognitive style test and satisfaction questionnaire were used as data collection tools. Also, to collect data related to the image search behavior, the subjects’ transaction files were recorded using Camtasia software and then the files observed and reviewed. The research sample was 90 postgraduate students of Shiraz University.FindingsThe results showed that cognitive styles in interaction with the text-based and content-based search system of “Google Images” affected user’s satisfaction. Text-based image retrieval, in which vocabulary-based information needs were expressed, was more compatible with the verbal cognitive style and resulted in greater satisfaction. In contrast, in content-based image retrieval, where it was possible to express information needs in the form of images, users were more satisfied with the visual cognitive style. Verbal users performed more positively in text-based search and visual users in content-based search.Originality/valueConsidering the research gap, which has identified the performance of visual text-based and content-based systems in terms of satisfaction and cognitive style search behavior, the present study could be considered a small effort to promote science.

New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia

The simplicity of the hypertext model behind the World Wide Web is a factor in its success, but this simplicity brings limitations. One of these limitations is embedding links in documents. Open Hypermedia addresses this by instead storing them in separate link databases. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Hypermedia approach seeks to enhance a user's experience by inserting personalised additional content and links on the web page. However, these techniques do not offer the user any control over the adaptation. In this paper, we propose the concept of a multi-dimensional linkbase for adaptive links presentation. Links are created and stored in a single, multi-dimensional, linkbase that provides presentation links based on the user's preferences and profile. We present a web-based system (IPNS) that implements this multi-dimensional concept for controlling its personalisation of hyperlinks. We give the results of our evaluation, which confirm that user-controlled adaptation is a satisfactory approach to providing users with control over personalization, and can alleviate the link overload problem.

“…A literature review revealed that little work has been done with the goal of standardizing the usability metrics into a single score. Work in this area was pioneered by Babiker et al (1991). They evaluated the hypertext documentation system on three attributes: navigation, orientation, and user interaction.…”

We propose a new approach to create a single score metric to compare and rank the usability of website interfaces. The approach is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process. We built the model and validated it using four usability studies, two of which are on a manufacturing firm website and the other two are on a service firm website. The results revealed a difference in domain between manufacturing and service. Still, this approach to creating a single score for usability is new in the literature for website evaluation and can help explain the ranking of website interfaces to non-experts. This is especially true for clients with the need to repeat website evaluations yearly or with clients who need a comparative analysis for their website against others in the same business. Future research is necessary to develop this approach further and validate it using a more comprehensive data set from an identical domain.
