Abstract: The experiments and methodology to be talked about here are intended to aid the systems analyst in the task of designing user interface modules for business applications and other information systems. Other work has been done on how best to design user interface dialogues and soft-ware modules for specific applications, e.g. airline reservation systems (Martin, 1973) and a police system (Bockelman, 1972), But, as in these cases, the work was limited to a specific application.We hope that this present on-going effort will provide insights into the computer user for systems analysts working with a wide variety of applications. Further, it is hoped that these insights will include understanding that psychological mechanisms the users employ in their interaction with a computer. A whole new level of understanding of the user will be required for this.
