Mechanisms¶
- Prototype Fidelity Check
- Its signature failure is the aesthetic-usability effect: users perceive more attractive interfaces as more usable
This sourceFinds that interface aesthetics strongly influence apparent-usability judgments, which are only weakly related to inherent usability.
- Its signature failure is the aesthetic-usability effect: users perceive more attractive interfaces as more usable
- Unskinned Prototype Review
- Historically the review meetings collapse into arguments about button color while the actual flow goes unexamined — because a polished mock triggers the aesthetic-usability effect
This sourceFinds that interface aesthetics strongly influence apparent usability even when users are asked to evaluate functional qualities.
- Historically the review meetings collapse into arguments about button color while the actual flow goes unexamined — because a polished mock triggers the aesthetic-usability effect
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
