A study of the recognitions and preferences on abstract and concrete icon styles on smart phone from Easterners and Westerners' point of view
Abstract
Smart phones are being used extensively by nearly every walk of life and its market is speedily growing. Design of icons for human-machine interface unavoidably needs to consider cultural differences between the users. This paper is a pilot study that involved 60 subjects, of which 29 are westerners and 31 Easterners. They participated in an icon recognition and icon preference test. The results show there was no difference in terms of icon recognition and preference between the participants from different cultures. The findings also imply that cultural gap may be gradually narrowed and it is suggested that icon designers should avoid using abstract symbols.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
