The Compatibility of Chords and Imagery on Information Processing — A Proposal and Experiment Using a Chord Code to Input Chinese Characters (Article written in chinese)

MOU Weimin, LIU Yanfang, & ZHANG Kan

Abstract
A chord code for inputting Chinese characters into the computer was proposed. It capitalized on the compatibility of the imagery of Chinese character and chord combination of keys. A chord code based on a graphic image of Chinese characters was better than a code which randomly maps Chinese characters onto chord combination of keys with respect to the learning time, errors and reaction time.

Keywords:	`compatibility; chord code; Chinese character inputting; XINGONG code`
