Abstract
In this paper we consider how domain knowledge affects interaction with Visual Analytics. In a trial involving a particular musical genre (in which we can demonstrate that some of the participants are expert), we show significant differences in the ways in which novices and experts interact with a visualisation. These differences reflect differences in prior knowledge. This suggests that the manner in which people interact with Visual Analytics is not simply a function of what is displayed to them, but a matter of how this display corresponds to their existing knowledge. This relationship is explored through the concept of Distributed Cognition.
