Computer interface, rehearsed, cultural, human–Computer interac- tion, icon recognition
In this empirical study, we investigated the effect of rehearsed Computer use on both the semantic association of icons and the Computer phrases/jargons. Results show that repeated Computer use and computing experience not only significantly enhance a user’s semantic association but also are constantly interacting with Computer-related idiosyncrasies to define a user’s complex cognitive space. The need for a local interface, especially the use of metaphoric icons that are culturally relevant was also revealed. This study, is hoped, will not only provide a basis for refining emerging theories and interface design guidelines, but also become a tile in the complex and vast mosaic of human performance with Computerized information systems.
