Primes¶
- Iconography
- Common failure: enterprise software adopts industry-standard iconography (gears = settings, magnifying glass = search) which is highly efficient for trained users but creates a steep learning cliff for first-time users who cannot interpret the icon vocabulary; remediation requires either onboarding labels (compromising compactness) or hover-text (compromising perceptual immediacy), as Shneiderman and Plaisant (2010) document in their treatment of icon learnability versus efficiency trade-offs
This sourceStandard HCI textbook; develops the trade-offs between standardization, learnability, and accessibility in interface iconography, including the cost imposed on novice users by industry-standard icon vocabularies.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
