Abstract

Usersattempting to interaet with an application for the fmt time are confronted with the problem of determing which commandto executein order to accomplishtheir goals. A "rational analysis"wasconductedin order to determinehow users ought to behave when faced with this decision problem. The resulting model is able to account at a qualitative level for a number of behaviors that users actually exhibit when trying to use a new application.
