Sense-making Strategies for the Interpretation of Visualizations—Bridging the Gap between Theory and Empirical Research

Sense-making Strategies for the Interpretation of Visualizations—Bridging the Gap between Theory and Empirical Research

Making sense of visualizations is often an open and explorative process. This process is still not very well understood. On the one hand, it is an open question which theoretical models are appropriate for the explanation of these activities. Heuristics and theories of everyday thinking probably des...
