“…On the one hand, this might be surprising given other well-documented cases of bottom-up strategy change (other than information reductionsee above). On the other hand, our findings are in line with observations from applied settings involving information reduction (e.g., Gaschler et al 2010;Vu et al 2007). In Experiment 1, we studied how fixations on irrelevant aspects of alphanumeric strings were reduced with practice.…”

“…Eye-tracking data on the processing of privacy protection information on shopping websites suggest that people might decide to ignore information they deem irrelevant across all websites. Alternatively, one could have expected that people start to ignore (seemingly) irrelevant information website by website, still checking privacy information on novel websites while ignoring it on well-known ones (compare Vu et al, 2007). In a similar vein, information on food packages deemed irrelevant seems to be ignored across both well-known and novel food products (e.g., Gaschler, Mata, Störmer, Kühnel, & Bilalic, 2010).…”

Ignoring irrelevant visual information aids efficient interaction with task environments. We studied how people, after practice, start to ignore the irrelevant aspects of stimuli. For this we focused on how information reduction transfers to rarely practised and novel stimuli. In Experiment 1, we compared competing mathematical models on how people cease to fixate on irrelevant parts of stimuli. Information reduction occurred at the same rate for frequent, infrequent, and novel stimuli. Once acquired with some stimuli, it was applied to all. In Experiment 2, simplification of task processing also occurred in a once-for-all manner when spatial regularities were ruled out so that people could not rely on learning which screen position is irrelevant. Apparently, changes in eye movements were an effect of a once-for-all strategy change rather than a cause of it. Overall, the results suggest that participants incidentally acquired knowledge about regularities in the task material and then decided to voluntarily apply it for efficient task processing. Such decisions should be incorporated into accounts of information reduction and other theories of strategy change in skill acquisition.

Participants in this study were assigned to one of three different password generation groups: image-based mnemonic, text-based mnemonic, or proactive password checking restrictions alone; and asked to generate and later recall passwords for five separate fictitious online accounts. Password accuracy and recall time were measured following both a short-term (10-minute) and long-term (1-week) delay. Results indicated that passwords were more quickly generated and accurately recalled when they were generated using the image-based mnemonic technique or proactive password restrictions alone, as opposed to the text-based mnemonic technique. Furthermore, use of the image-based mnemonic technique resulted in the generation of passwords that were more resistant to forgetting. Implications and future research considerations are discussed.
