Abstract

A consideration for any visualization technique is the added value

it brings over other representations of data. A free ride, a concept

introduced by Shimojima, occurs in a visualization when it reveals

some fact that must be inferred from an alternative representation

from which the visualization was derived. This paper presents preliminary

results from an empirical evaluation of free rides occurring

in visualizations of sets as compared to textual representations. By

focusing on Euler, linear and Venn diagrams, our results suggest that

more research is needed to establish when free rides are cognitively

beneficial.
