This study investigates the efficiency of using reference cue for designing an inclusive control-display device. The experiment has a 2 (cognitive styles) X 2 (spatial S-R pairing patterns) X2 (reference cue types) design. Three independent variables are cognitive styles, spatial S-R pairing patterns and reference cue types. Cognitive styles variable includes field-dependent and field-independent cognitive styles. Spatial S-R pairing patterns variable consists of a correspondent pairing task and a non-correspondent pairing task. Reference cue types variable includes the reference cue and no-reference cue types of spatial S-R pairing tasks. 48 participants were randomly chosen from different departments in National Yunlin University of Science and Technology in accordance with their CSA scores. The experiment results show that both cognitive styles did not perform no significantly better in both reference cue tasks, implying the useless of reference cue for enhancing the performance of field-dependent-independent cognitive styles in a spatial S-R pairing tasks. Therefore, reference cue is not suggested for designing an inclusive control-display device for all users.

本研究旨在探討參考座標對設計衆用控制一顯示相容設備的有效性。本研究之實驗 採用2 (認知風格）X2 (空間刺激反應配對作業型態）X2 (參考座標類型）設計。認知 風格變數包含場地獨立與場地依賴等兩認知風格，此兩認知風格以電腦化認知風格分析 (Cognitive Styles Analysis, CSA)測驗判定之。而空間刺激反應配對作業型態變數則包含一 致性與非一致性空間刺激反應配對作業。參考座標類型變數則包含有參考座標的空間刺激 反應作業與無參考座標的空間刺激反應作業等兩類型。實驗結果顯示，兩種認知風格者在 參考座標有、無等兩類實驗作業中，其作業績效並無明顯變化。此顯示，參考座標並無法 有助增進各種認知風格者在空間刺激反應作業中的作業績效表現。因此，本研究不建議使 用參考座標來設計控制-顯示相容設備，以維持所有空間個別化差異作業者的作業安全。
