Motor Behavior Reference

Simple idea that the more choices you present users with, the longer it will take them to make a choice.

Hick's Law in HCI

An idea that tells us how long it will take to move a pointer from a position to hit a target

Fitt's Law in HCI

The Steering Law is a predictive model in human-computer interaction that estimates the time needed to steer a pointer, such as a mouse cursor or a finger on a touch device, from one end to the other as quickly as possible.

Steering Law in HCI

Motor behavior in human-computer interaction (HCI) refers to the physical movements and actions users perform to interact with digital devices. These motor movements include typing, pointing, clicking, dragging, drawing, and pinching on various interfaces.

Covers the design and use of computer technology. It focuses on the interfaces between people and computers and observes how people interact with them. Contributing disciplines include computer science, behavioral sciences, design, and media studies.

Experiments have always played an important role in Human-Computer Interaction.

Experimental Methods in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Gestalt principles are laws of human perception that describe how we group similar elements, recognize patterns, and simplify complex images when we perceive objects. These principles include Proximity, Similarity, Continuity, Closure, Symmetry, Figure/Ground, and Common Fate. Understanding these concepts can be enhanced by observing them in real-world examples.

Gestalt Principles

Wickens' human information processing model describes how the brain processes information to produce action. It begins with sensory registers and perception making initial sense of input. Attention then focuses on specific elements, while working and long-term memory integrate past experiences, enabling decision-making and execution of actions.
