Abstract

<p>In this research, we focus on information presentation by curation as a means to avoid the difficulty of information seeking behavior on the web under the circumstances of information overload. It aimed to clarify what kind of change was caused to information seeking behaviour and information use, user’s thought state and mental burden at that time. We randomly assigned 30 experimental participants to groups receiving information from curated Web pages and groups receiving information from Web pages searched by search engines at random. And, they did two tasks of different natures in experimental. Then, we collected and analyzed their electroencephalogram.</p><p>As a result, by receiving the curated information presentation, changes such as the concentration state at the time of page browsing became high, the stress and the mental burden decreased were observed. In addition, with tasks of the type that obtain more information from several sources on the web, it has been found that stress and mental burden are reduced at the time of query entry when stress and mental burden is applied in the search by the conventional search engine. These results suggest that the presentation of information by curation is effective for reducing difficulty of information overload which became the background of this research.</p>
