Human Perception and Visual Thinking Tools for Environmental Science
Visualizations are cognitive support tools. They take advantage of human pattern perception,
support working memory and help with cognitive model building. Lessons for cognitive tool
building will be developed with three examples relating to the environment. The first is a tool
for analyzing a marine food web, it informs the need to design so that the inner workings of a
model can be understood. The second is visualization software for analyzing the behavior of
tagged marine mammals. Its design was informed by studies of visual working memory. The
third is a model of seaweed architecture, with lessons for mental model building and the role
of visualization in explanation.15:50-16:20 Coffee break
