新的视觉通信技术正在改变诉讼，包括视频会议、PowerPoint 和计算机动画。然而，这些视觉技术对法律决策的影响在很大程度上尚不清楚。为了更好地了解法庭技术最紧迫的问题，心理学家、律师以及技术公司和资助机构的代表参加了联邦司法中心组织的法庭技术研究会议。会议的目标是确定法庭使用新技术所提出的问题，这些问题可以通过实证研究来阐明，并提出进行该研究的设计和方法。这篇论文是从那次会议中产生的。作者概述了指导该领域研究的考虑因素，包括考虑到技术特征、受众和技术用户的法律策略的框架。他们概述了进行此类研究的范式，用不同程度的实验和概念复杂性的几种可能的实证研究来说明它，并确定了后续研究的方向。
Litigation is being transformed by new visual communication technologies, including videoconferencing, PowerPoint, and computer animations. Yet the effects of these visual technologies on legal decision making are largely unknown. In order to understand better the most pressing issues surrounding technology in the courtroom, psychologists, lawyers, and representatives from technology companies and funding agencies attended a Research Conference on Courtroom Technology organized by the Federal Judicial Center. The goals of the conference were to identify issues raised by courtroom uses of new technologies that could be illuminated by empirical research and to suggest designs and methods for conducting that research. This paper emerged from that conference. The authors provide an overview of considerations that should guide research in this area, including a framework that takes into account features of the technology, the audience, and the legal strategy of the user of the technology. They outline a paradigm for conducting such research, illustrate it with several possible empirical studies of varying levels of experimental and conceptual complexity, and identify directions for subsequent research.
