This article presents an experimental investigation of the process of computer-based command generation. The comparative cognitive demands imposed by menu and command line interfaces are examined in relation to individual differences in expertise and cognitive ability. Three-way interactions between associative memory, expertise, and command generation method indicated similarities in the performance of expert participants with low associative memory and that of novices. Spatial memory also interacted with expertise, with novices with low spatial memory performing more poorly than any other group. Implications for interface design are considered.
