857 On the Dynamics of Conspicuity
Everyday Objects and Interfaces
Kim-Phuong L. Vu and Yuting Sun
This study reports population stereotypes for display-control relations of common interfaces from MTurk workers located in the USA, India, and UK. Stereotypic responses were examined by the workers location. We found that more than half of the stimuli yielded stereotypic responses that were consistent across location and few gender differences.

The Effect of Walking on Auditory Localization, Visual Discrimination, and Aurally Aided Visual Search
HUCAN FACTORS/ERGONOMICS RESEARCH; APPLICATIONS OF MIXED REALITY
Douglas S. Brungart, Sarah E. Kruger, Tricia Kwiatkowski, Thomas Heil, and Julie Cohen
This study compared auditory localization, visual discrimination, and aurally aided visual search for individuals who were standing and individuals walking at a comfortable pace on a treadmill. The results show that walking had no

895 The Ability of Adults of Different Size to Egress Through Confined Space Apertures
Arthur Stewart, Alan Nevill, and Christopher Johnson
Absolute body size is a strong predictor of minimum wall aperture transit in adults. Key anatomical dimensions: to egress capability, but men and women exhibit subtle differences. Wherever clearance space is restricted tron capability is likely to become increasingly limited by enlarged body size associated with increased obesity prevalence.

906 Diminishing Cognitive Capacities in an Ever Hotter World: Evidence From an Applicable Power-Law
Description
José Ignacio López-Sánchez and P. A. Hancock
Thermal stress degrades cognition, but which components and to what degree has yet to be determined.
Cognitive exposure limits under thermal stress have been computed and advanced as power-law relationships
