Graphs are often accompanied by text, i.e. linguistically coded information. augmenting information presented diagrammatically. Thus graph comprehension by human Often Constitutes comprehension and integration of information provided by different representational modalities, namely graphical elements and Verbal Constituents. In this Study We focus on text annotations to line graphs providing information about events, processes and their temporal properties its well it temporal relations about the events and processes in question. We present results of all experimental investigation on parameters which influence subject's interpretations concerning the temporal properties of the annotated events and oil eve movement behavior. In particular. we discuss the role of graph shape and the role of graphical means for relating, textual annotations and determined part of the graph line.

Gesture and language production in communication through bar graphs Özge, Alaçam; Christopher, Habel; Acartürk, Cengiz (Cognitive Science Society; 2013-08-31) Bar graphs and line graphs are commonly used ways of graphical communication. Due to the difference in their perceptual visuo-spatial properties, they facilitate comprehension of different events. Bar graphs are commonly used in the domain of precipitation although the data intrinsically carry information that is averaged over long time spans. In this study, we investigate how the presence of incongruence between consecutive graph pairs influences conceptualization of the represented information about preci...
Gestures in communication through line graphs Özge, Alaçam; Christopher, Habel; Acartürk, Cengiz (null; 2012-08-31) Line graphs are widely used in communication settings, for conveying information about states and processes that unfold in time. The communication is achieved by the contribution of other modalities than graphs, such as language and gestures. In a set of experimental investigations, we analyzed the production and comprehension of gestures during communication through line graphs. The findings reveal a systematic use of gestures as well as the limitations of cognitive resources due to the split of attention ...
Investigation of haptic line graph comprehension through co production of gesture and language Deniz, Ozan; Mehmetcan, Fal; Acartürk, Cengiz (null; 2013-06-30) In communication settings, statistical graphs accompany language by providing visual access to various aspects of domain entities, such as conveying information about trends. A similar and comparable means for providing perceptual access is to provide haptic graphs for blind people. In this study, we present the results of an experimental study that aimed to investigate visual line graphs and haptic line graphs in time domain by means of gesture production as an indicator of event conceptualization. The par...
Towards designing audio assistance for comprehending haptic graphs A multimodal perspective DENİZ, OZAN; MEHMETCAN, FAL; Acartürk, Cengiz (2013-07-31) Statistical graphs, such as line graphs are widely used in multimodal communication settings. Language accompanies graphs and humans produce gestures during the course of communication. For visually impaired people, haptic-audio interfaces provide perceptual access to graphical representations. The local and sequential character of haptic perception introduces limitations in haptic perception of hard-to-encode information, which can be resolved by providing audio assistance. In this article we first present...
Towards a systematic understanding of graphical cues in communication through statistical graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2014-04-01) Statistical graphs in particular, line graphs and bar graphs are efficient means of communication in a wide range of non-expert settings. In communication settings, statistical graphs do not only serve as visualizations of individual data points but also provide visual access to various aspects of the information contained in data. Moreover, specific types of graphs are better means for providing visual access to certain aspects of data. For instance, trend information is visually conveyed through line grap...
