Paper Abstract:
|
In order to create a successful interface, the system model for operation must be congruent with that of the users internal
model. When the users internal mental model and the actual system design differ, the end result can often be confusion
and a difficult to use interface. The aim of our study was to measure the cognitive load associated with the development
of an internal mental model and the consequence actions when the mental model and the system model differ. Our studies
indicated that a discrepancy in usage between the internal mental model and the actual design model led to a change in
the cognitive processing associated with the frontal lobe. |
