Abstract:

To demonstrate that, for users with varying psychological characteristics, alternative modes of man-computer dialogue should be provided for a given task, an experimental design has been formulated. The research on specific hypotheses involves conceptual complexity and environmental complexity. To facilitate the design of alternative modes of man-computer dialogue, a technique of protocol analysis for information system design is adapted from that used in artificial intelligence research. A description of this new technique is included. Two papers outline some of the objectives and methodologies currently in use.
