Evidence Notes.
8 Findings Published
Evidence
Primary referent: splitscreen add.
Evidence
Implied function: The icon must communicate Splitscreen Add in a digital interface..
Evidence
Metaphor type: functional.
Evidence
The icon effectively represents the 'splitscreen add' function with a clear visual metaphor combining screen division and addition symbols.
Evidence
Visual metrics indicate strong perceptual clarity and robustness, with an overall visual score of 0.77, supporting good recognition at various sizes and conditions.
Evidence
Semantic and functional convergence scores (0.62 and 0.63 respectively) show the icon generally conveys the intended meaning and function, though some ambiguity remains.
Evidence
Cultural convergence is the weakest axis (0.55), reflecting moderate cultural recognition and some risk of confusion, especially without supporting labels or context.
Evidence
Temporal evidence suggests moderate persistence of meaning over time, but some semantic obsolescence and temporal decay are present.

[ RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS ]
What Improves This Pictogram.
Action
Conduct representative user testing across diverse user groups to validate comprehension and reduce confusion risks.
Action
Maintain visible text labels or tooltips alongside the icon until semantic transparency and cultural recognition are confirmed through testing.
Action
Ensure the icon is placed with clear contextual cues and consistent labeling to minimize confusion with neighboring interface actions.
Action
Consider accessibility needs by verifying sufficient contrast and clarity at minimum display sizes (24x24) and in various display conditions.
Action
Monitor evolving cultural and temporal trends to update or replace the icon if semantic obsolescence increases over time.
