“…The implication of these errors is that the user-centered search history potentially reduced the demands for working memory and thus supported participants' search process. These results supported the hypothesis and were consistent with earlier research findings of Spink andGoodrum (1996), Campbell (1988), Jacko (1993), Jacko and Salvendy (1996), Jacko et al (1995), Tombaugh et al (1987), and Tauscher and Greenberg (1997).…”

“…In another study, Tombaugh, Lickorish, and Wright (1987) demonstrated that multiwindow displays were a significant help to participants relocating information in lengthy texts once they were familiar with the procedures for manipulating the text and the windows. Hence, a search history organized as a hierarchy and displayed in a separate window could guide users through the search process, thereby potentially improving users' performance.…”

“…However, their case studies showed that the system gives writers a good overview of the text, and that the pages displayed on a screen may serve as a memory aid for locating information in the text. In the same vein, Tombaugh, Lickorish and Wright (1987) showed that information in a text displayed in several windows is found faster than when the text is presented in only one window, although the word-processing prototype used by these authors was very different from Paper. In the Tombaugh et al system, each window corresponded to a thematic section of the text, and scroll arrows were included, so that the amount of text per theme could exceed the window size.…”

“…(a) high resolution ratio may result in better visual search (Harpster, Freivalds, Shulman, & Liebowitz, 1989); (b) large screens may enhance text processing (de Bruijn, de Mul, & van Oostendorp, 1992;Lansdale, 1988); and (c) multiple windows seem to be better for information relocation (Tombaugh, Lickorish, & Wright, 1987).…”
