Sources

  • Staggering had negligible or negative effects on tracking multiple objects.

    “We found that introducing staggering has a negligible, or even negative, impact on multiple object tracking performance.”Abstrak

Experiments

How to test it: Reorder twelve cards all at once or with 30 or 60 ms stagger. Ask people to follow two cards; measure accuracy and total duration.
