Abstract:

In order to obtain related brain electrical components and neural bases of physiology assessment of icon elements in a digital human-computer interface, the modified sample-delay matching task experimental paradigm is used under different time pressures(4 000 and 2 000 ms)and different icon quantities(three, five and ten icons)on icon memory based on event-related potential(ERP)technology. Experimental results demonstrate that P300 has significant volatility changes and the maximum amplitude around the middle line of the parietal area(PZ)and P200 has obvious volatility changes around the middle line of the frontal and central area(FCZ)during icon cognition. P300 and P200 amplitudes increase as tasks become more difficult. Thus, P300 latency is positively correlated with task difficulty. ERP research on the characteristics of icon memory will be an important reference standard in guiding user neurocognitive behavior and physiology assessment on interface usability.
