| Whenever you're clicking around on a website, you're going through 3 different types of mental processes. These are know as loads. | 1. Cognitive: the things you're thinking about or remembering. 2. Visual: the things you are seeing on the screen. 3: Motor: mouse movements, button clicking...that sort of thing. |
| This is Fitt's Law that can mathematically determine motor loads. | It makes about as much sense to me as it does to you. It's just a fancy way of finding out how big or how close to make a target easier to hit |
| That's what that whole Fitt's thing is about. Make people move less, and think less to hit a target. This decreases certain mental loads, and can make the experience better for the user. | |
| There is no example 2. I can show you that equation again if you want. | The simple fact is this: Keep in mind the mental processes your user has to go through. Trade off one load for another. More movement for less thinking, or less visuals for faster movement. |
