外围信息是指对一个人的当前任务不重要的信息，但为这个人提供了学习更多、做得更好或跟踪不太重要的任务的机会。虽然周边信息显示器是无处不在的，他们很少被研究。对于计算机用户，常见的外围设备显示器是滚动文本显示器，其提供公告、体育比分、股票价格或其它新闻。在本文中，我们研究如何设计外围显示器，使他们提供最多的信息，同时对用户的主要任务的性能影响最小。我们报告了一系列的实验，旨在研究之间的权衡分心的滚动运动和记忆的信息显示的滚动显示。总的来说，我们发现连续滚动的显示比开始和停止的显示更容易分散注意力，但两者中的信息都被记住了。这些结果总结在一组设计建议。
Peripheral information is information that is not central to a person's current task, but provides the person the opportunity to learn more, to do a better job, or to keep track of less important tasks. Though peripheral information displays are ubiquitous, they have been rarely studied. For computer users, a common peripheral display is a scrolling text display that provides announcements, sports scores, stock prices, or other news. In this paper, we investigate how to design peripheral displays so that they provide the most information while having the least impact on the user's performance on the main task. We report a series of experiments on scrolling displays aimed at examining tradeoffs between distraction of scrolling motion and memorability of information displayed. Overall, we found that continuously scrolling displays are more distracting than displays that start and stop, but information in both is remembered equally well. These results are summarized in a set of design recommendations.
