Abstract

Examines, in a two-experiment sequence, task time across several ordering of menu lists. It is not sufficient to consider good physical layout in screen design; good physical layout is subordinate to good conceptual layout. The second purposes of these two experiments is to extend previous work to encompass smaller menus for item size nine and fewer, and important area, since guidelines recommend menus with nine or fewer items for maximizing the effectiveness of the user interface
