Landscape models that attempt to represent these many interacting processes seem doomed to ever more intractable complication and to ever-decreasing comprehensibility.
Overall there were a decrease in Comprehensibility (p = 0.017) and Meaningfulness (p = 0.004) between time-point 1, and 2, however, Manageability showed no differences between any of the time-points.
Alternatively, the symbol for cancer-causing substance was rotated in order to maintain its complexity, but decrease its comprehensibility – the rotation of the symbol was expected to eliminate the verbal cue contained within the symbol ('c' is for 'cancer') (see Figure 2).
To produce these triplets, it was sometimes necessary to (1) increase an existing symbol's complexity, while also increasing its comprehensibility, (2) decrease a symbol's comprehensibility, while maintaining its complexity and (3) increase a symbol's complexity, while decreasing its comprehensibility.
Lesch et al. (2011) found an effect of comprehensibility that decreased as complexity increased.
The total sample, especially the mothers, decreased in the component Comprehensibility between time-points 1 and 2. Diagnosis of cancer in a child undermines the vision of a long and happy life [ 2].
Clarity again matters for comprehension and comprehensibility contributes to persuasiveness.
Furthermore, when suffering from MDD or generalized anxiety the cognitive function and social drive decrease leading to a diminished comprehensibility and manageability.
However, for older adults, the effect of comprehensibility was moderated by complexity – that is, increases in complexity resulted in a decreased effect of comprehensibility.
The burden of comprehensibility shifts from composer to audience.
