Meta-Analysis of Correlations Among Usability Measures

Kasper Hornbæk
Effie Lai-Chong Law

Investigates how usability measures are correlated and which factors that shapes the correlations. Provides extensive empirical evidence about correlations and uses it to discuss models of usability and usability studies.

 

A Predictive Model of Menu Performance

Andy Cockburn
Carl Gutwin
Saul Greenberg

Presents a model predicting efficiency of menu designs, incorporating components for Fitts' pointing time, visual search time when novice, Hick-Hyman decision time when expert, and for novice to expert transition.

 

Endpoint Prediction Using Motion Kinematics

Edward Lank
Nikko Cheng
Jaime Ruiz

Develops a model of endpoint prediction based on kinematic laws of human motion. Enhances our understanding of motion in interfaces and its use in prediction-based interacton techniques.
