Drawing car dashboards from memory: does driving ezperience matters?
The aim of the present study is twofold: (i) to explore whether the drawing from memory method is adequate to identify traces of the drivers operative images for their dashboard displays panels, and (ii) to validate the hypothesis according to which the drawings of experienced drivers would be more laconic and functionally deformed than those of less experienced drivers, due to the effect of their operative images. The drawings of 335 non professional drivers are analyzed to identify persistent deformations from the actual dashboard display panels, as well as to find out differences related to the driving experience of the participants. The results show that the drivers drawings are influenced by generic cognitive and cultural related phenomena, but also by laconism and functional deformation, reflecting therefore traces of their operative images. Implications of the findings for the design of dashboard display panels are also discussed.
