More about the book
The book explores three experiments focusing on how customization tools can enhance information indexing in computer desktop environments. The first experiment reveals that users are more likely to customize when costs are low and benefits are high. The second highlights how these tools enable a balance between internal memory and external cues, significantly affecting performance based on information needs. The final experiment indicates that less efficient communication methods result in fewer help-seeking behaviors, leading to sub-optimal outcomes. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of adaptable customization tools for effective information retrieval.
