“…This can be an indication that users were relying more on their spatial memory to return to a previously-visited page simply by rapid recalling of the landmarks available on the scrollbars. Our findings conform to previous knowledge of spatial memory interfaces, which suggests that landmark augmentation can support better spatial memory development [4,81,82].…”

“…Adding other landmarks may be valuable as well, as suggested by the one participant who used the webcam and windows button on the tablet bezel to help remember item locations. The work done with artificial landmarks as discussed by Uddin and colleagues could be valuable in these designs [40].…”

“…We verified that this result was not due to learning one category better than another. Therefore, it indicates that a regular pattern using separate spatial cues can help the user in his task of memorization, as other studies seem to indicate, such as [8,24,32]. Thus, the lower recall rates obtained with the directions can perhaps be explained by the lack of explicit spatial landmarks inherent in this type of technique.…”

“…Spatial landmarks can also improve the learning of spatial positions [33], especially if their number is large [32]. Natural spatial landmarks on the skin of a user (e.g., birthmark) are, for instance, useful when placing and recalling commands directly on the forearm [7].…”

“…A menu is represented by a rectangular area (Figure 1-a) in which the commands are contained. The commands are placed next to spatial cues to help memorization [32] (i.e., the corners and edges of the menu, Figure 1-b). To select a command, the user first selects a menu by clicking within its interaction area, then on the desired item.…”

How Memorizing Positions or Directions Affects Gesture Learning?

Various techniques have been proposed to faster command selection. Many of them either rely on directional gestures (e.g. Marking menus) or pointing gestures using a spatiallystable arrangement of items (e.g. FastTap). Both types of techniques are known to leverage memorization, but not necessarily for the same reasons. In this paper, we investigate whether using directions or positions affects gesture learning. Our study shows that, while recall rates are not significantly different, participants used the novice mode more often and spent more time while learning commands with directional gestures, and they also reported more physical and mental efforts. Moreover, this study also highlights the importance of semantic relationships between gestural commands and reports on the memorization strategies that were elaborated by the participants.
