Abstract
Models of graph-based reasoning have typically accounted for the variation in
problem solving performance with different graph types in terms of a task
analysis of the problem relative to the particular visual properties of each graph
type (e.g. Lohse, 1993; Peebles, Cheng & Shadbolt 1999, submitted). This
approach has been used to explain response time and accuracy differences in
experimental situations where data are averaged over experimental conditions.
