Abstract |
In this study, the modality appropriateness hypothesis that originated from experiments in perception is tested for human computer interaction situations. In multimodal information processing users need to integrate the data coming from various sources into one message. In a visual and auditory categorisation task with accessory stimuli in the other modality, containing a mood, it was shown that in tasks where choices need to be made based on the meaning of the stimuli, the visual modality seems more appropriate. From the results can be concluded that users do not always benefit from having information in more than one modality.

Reiterate that the onus is on the perceiver to create a perceptual unity leading to an unequivocal interpretation when presented simultaneous multimodal stimuli (e.g. image and sound). Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard |
Unlike Blattner et. al., the authors place the former's 'representational earcons' using recording of sound in an 'auditory icon' class that is distinct to that of earcons (Blattner, Sumikawa, & Greenberg 1989, p.21). For the authors, earcons are purely musical and abstract. Blattner, M. M., Sumikawa, D. A., & Greenberg, R. M. (1989). Earcons and icons: Their structure and common design principles.
