Abstract
Behavioral experimenters have hypothesized that fundamental principles of human communication can be discovered to help designers of computer systems create a better human-computer communications interface. A large number of experiments have contributed to the growth of a corpus of such principles. Compilations of principles have been published, yet computer systems continue to have poorly designed interfaces becaus
-
1.
The principles are not widely known; and
-
2.
The principles cannot be readily applied.
