Effects of Uncertainty Visualization on Map-Based Decision Making Under Time Pressure by Michelle Korporaal, Ian T. Ruginski, Sara Irina Fabrikant

“…Although there is very little empirical evidence from prior uncertainty visualization research that considered decision time constraints, we hypothesized that uncertainty visualization would also have an effect on decision-making under time critical and complex decision contexts. Using a map-based helicopter landing scenario in mountainous terrain, we found that neither time pressure nor uncertainty affected participants decision-making accuracy. …”
