Relative Perceptibility of HyperCard Buttons Using Pictorial Symbols and Text Labels.

King, Kira S.; And Others

Journal of Educational Computing Research, v14 n1 p67-81 1996

This experimental study used graduate student participants to investigate the comparative perceptibility of hypertext navigation buttons in various configurations, using pictorial symbols and text labels. Findings indicate that buttons with both pictorial symbols and text labels resulted in significantly less user confusion. (Author/LRW)
