Intuitive systems are usable systems. Design guidelines advocate intuitiveness and vendors claim it - but what does it mean for a user interface, interactive system, or device to be intuitive? A review of the use of the term 'intuitive' indicates tha... Read More about Towards an account of intuitiveness.

Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK (2008)
