ABSTRACT
We are developing an app that presents photographs in such a way as to increase the user's motivation for activity by activating memory recall and awareness. In this paper, as a initial investigation for this project, we report a photo-network visualization system and a initial experiment conducted to assess its validity. The system groups related pictures in terms of the objects and scenes in the images. The system allows user to view the photographs interactively by selecting nodes in the network. In an experiment, participants reported that viewing the photographs on the system actually improved their memory recall. Furthermore, we uncovered evidence that certain photographs better promoted memory recall than others. We also analyzed the tendencies of the participants when selecting nodes, and whether the photographs elicited feelings of fondness or interest.

A Model and Framework for Visualization Exploration
Visualization exploration is the process of extracting insight from data via interaction with visual depictions of that data. Visualization exploration is more than presentation; the interaction with both the data and its depiction is as important as ...
Benefits of visualization in the Mammography Problem
Trying to make a decision between two outcomes, when there is some level of uncertainty, is inherently difficult because it involves probabilistic reasoning. Previous studies have shown that most people do not correctly apply Bayesian inference to solve ...
