68 Citations1986Kent L. Norman, Linda J. Weldon +1 more
A theory of the “cognitive layout” of information presented in multiple windows or screens is developed and it is hypothesized that the particular layout adopted by a user will drastically affect the user's understanding and expectation of events at the human-computer interface and could either greatly facilitate or frustrate the interaction.
