An experimental analysis of experiential and cognitive variables in web navigation
<20> Cognitive and experiential factors in human-computer interaction have been the focus of significant recent attention, but a much needed integrated approach to these issues has been lacking. This work proposes such a novel approach and applies this, combined with Finneran and Zhang’s (2003) person-task-artefact model, to the modelling of web navigation in an experiment. Flow Experience was a mediator of the effect of experimental manipulations on task performance. Overall, the results demonstrate the need for taking an integrated cognitive-experiential approach in the modelling of human-computer interaction and the need to account for person-, task- and artefact factors within this approach.
