Abstract:We investigated the influence of pictorial realism on the comprehension of safety briefing card by combining the eye-tracking technique and a simulated manipulation task. Participants were divided into three groups according to the design of safety briefing card: The card was composed of real photos, cartoon pictures, or a mixture of real photos (for target stimuli) and cartoon pictures (for the left stimuli). They first read the safety briefing card while their eye movements were recorded, then fulfilled a simulated manipulation task which typically took place when the plane is in an emergent situation. We found that participants paid more attention to the target stimuli in the mixture design, and they demonstrated better manipulation performance for the mixture design and real-photo design. Overall, the current study recommends displaying real photos for target stimuli and cartoon picture for the left stimuli in the design of safety briefing card.
