Divided Attention Amplifies the Importance of Expectation-Aligned Visualization Design
Studies have shown that visualization design affects interpretability when visualization interpretation is the user's sole task. However, in real-world settings, users often engage with visualizations while performing concurrent tasks, such as when users simultaneously monitor alerts or respond to messages. Such divided attention may alter how users interpret visualizations, potentially increasing the importance of designs that align with viewer expectations. We investigated this possibility thr
