Twenty pre-schoolers and 20 second-graders were asked to finish a search task through the visualized search interface. Their activities and successes in performing visual searches were logged for later analysis. Furthermore, in-depth interviews were also conducted to research their cognitive strategies exhibited while formulating visual search queries. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 Young children with different grades adopted different cognitive strategies to perform visual searching. In contrast to the pre-schoolers who performed visual searching by personal preference, the second-graders could exercise visual searching accompanied with relatively high-order thinking. Young children may also place different foci on the storybook structure to deal with conditional storybook queries. The pre-schoolers tended to address the characters in the story, whereas the second-graders paid much attention to the aspects of scene and colour. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 This paper describes a new visual search approach allowing young children to search for storybooks by describing an intended storybook in terms of its characters, scenes or the background colours, which provides valuable indicators to inform researchers of how pre-schoolers and second-graders formulate concepts to search for storybooks.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/el-12-2013-0219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,21]],"date-time":"2015-07-21T06:53:26Z","timestamp":1437461606000},"page":"610-624","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Young children\u2019s storybook searching with a visualized search interface"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Po-Yao","family":"Chao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chia-Ching","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122123093182400_b1","unstructured":"Baeza-Yates, R.\n                and \n                  Ribeiro-Neto, B.\n                (1999), \n                  Modern Information Retrieval\n               , ACM Press, New York, NY."},{"key":"key2020122123093182400_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bilal, D.\n                (2000), \u201cChildren\u2019s use of the Yahooligans!
