An Approach to Mapping of User Model to Corresponding Interface Parameters

The paper presents an approach and a brief overview of a corresponding experimental procedure to obtain statistically a mapping between a formal representation of a user model and an analogous formal representation of an abstract application interface (interface model). The proposed method to measure the user’s productivity within a concrete interface layout is based on emulating a gradually strengthening stress situation with a negative learning feedback, and is rooted in investigations in experimental psychology and training.
