learning where to look
Knowledge of object locations in direct manipulation interfaces improves performance by restricting visual search. This paper explores the effects of label representativeness and practice on the learning of object locations. Results showed that as label representativeness decreased, location knowledge increased. All participants were shown to have learned locations to some extent, however, even those using an interface which offered little benefit to doing so, indicating that such learning is pervasive.
