本文探讨了有效性，效率和易用性的两种替代界面交互在移动的平板电脑应用程序。更具体地说，这项研究采用了一个导航任务，新手用户需要完成两种类型的主菜单按钮，一个利用文本和其他利用视觉隐喻。此外，几乎没有证据表明隐喻的使用对不同年龄和计算机经验水平的用户的影响。我们的研究结果表明，年轻的用户更喜欢的按钮，显示一个视觉隐喻的图标的形式，而年长的参与者，谁喜欢的按钮，采用文本。他们还表明，用户的表现取决于年龄。
This paper explores the effectiveness, efficiency and ease of use of two alternative interface interactions in a mobile tablet application. More specifically, the study employs a navigation task which novice users were required to complete by means of two types of main menu button, one utilizing text and the other utilizing a visual metaphor. Furthermore, little evidence exists on the effect of the use of metaphor on users of various ages and levels of computer experience. Our results show that young users prefer buttons that display a visual metaphor in the form of an icon, in contrast to older participants, who preferred the button that employed text. They also show that the users' performance is dependent upon age.
