The Role Of Cognitive Style In The Comprehension Of Systems Analysis Tools
Abstract
Comprehending information presented in the systems analysis and design (SAD) tools by users is very important
for successful information systems development. The comprehension performance is best when there is a fit among the
cognitive style of the individual performing the task, the information-representation format being used, the complexity level
of the task, and the task size. Previous research in this area has produced conflicting results due to consideration of only a few
of the factors. This comprehensive study fills the previous research gap using systematic, speculative, judicial, and heuristic
cognitive styles and SAD tools of Decision Tables and Structured English.
