Abstract
Amy Barlow Magumo North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC. 27695·7801 JIU R. Kohake North Carolina State University Raleigh,NC. ,27695·7801 Michael S. Wogalter North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC, 27695·7801 Jennifer Snow Wolf Georgia Instituteof Technology Atlanta, GA. 30332· The current research tests a set of pictorials from the U.S. pharmacopoeia Convention(USPC) plus a set of redesignedpictorials developedbased on (a) error analysesof previously-tested subjects and (b} rough illustrations produced by focus-groups. The results showed that several of the revised designs were more successful in capturing the correct meaning than the originals. However, in other eases the revised pictorials were still unable to gamer an adequately large percentageof correct answers. The processes involvedin the redesign of pictorials are discussed.
