Hypothesis 1: Human interface cognitive load is proportional to the number of clicks/keystrokes/gestures
Hypothesis 2: Human interface cognitive load is proportional to interface latency
Hypothesis 3: The usability of an interface is inversely geometrically proportional to its cognitive load I'm calling these hypotheses instead of laws because they have yet to be proven out through rigrous scientific study and critique. I've developed them merely from anecdotes and examples.
Quoted: When designing human computer interfaces (including web UIs):
...
* Minimize the number of text fields in your interfaces down to the absolute minimum necessary.
* Minimize the number of click/keystrokes/gestures necessary to accomplish actions in your interface.
* Make your interface as responsive as possible - minimize the latency of each and every action a user might take in your interface.Quoted: Hypothesis 1: Human interface cognitive load is proportional to the number of clicks/keystrokes/gestures
