Abstract:
Despite its importance, research examining the effectiveness of different egress warnings in fire emergencies has been sparse. This research examines language-based warnings presented visually in Experiment 1 and spoken format in Experiment 2 on their rated suitability as fire egress warnings. Two types of phrases were manipulated: egress immediacy and egress directives. Phrase ordering was…

Abstract:
or arbitrary warning symbols also would be problematic. These symbols lack a clear relationship with a real-world referent. More specifically, abstract symbols have a distant relationship with the concept, while arbitrary sym- bols have little meaning in and of themselves. On the other hand, representational symbols directly or closely relate to the concept. As Figure…
