Q

User control and freedom

A

Users often choose system functions by mistake and will need a clearly marked “emergency exit” to leave the unwanted state without having to go through an extended dialogue.

17
Q

Error prevention

A

Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents a problem from occurring in the first place.

18
Q

Recognition rather than recall

A

Minimize the user’s memory load by making objects, actions, and options visible.
