Abstract
This study set out to investigate the influence of scale side and pointer typo on direction-of-turn stereotypes for various configurations of a vertical linear display with a rotary control. It was found that when the control is located vertically above or below the display the indicator is expected to move in the same direction as that part of the control On the same side as the scale. This effect is facilitated by use of a directional rather than a neutral indicator Further, for controls located at the side of the display, the stereotype described by Warrick's principle is stronger when reinforced by this scale side effect, i.e. when the scale is on the opposite side of the display to the control, than when on the same side in which position Warrick's principle and the scale side effect oppose each other.
