Abstract

This article presents a two-experiment series that strongly supports the hypothesis that user preference for interactive screens and performance using interactive screens is related to screen complexity. The relationship follows an inverted U-shaped curve, with too little or too much complexity depressing preference and performance. The implication for interactive systems designers is that while a clear screen is a necessary condition for user satisfaction, it is not a sufficient one; the appropriate level of screen complexity must also be considered. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
