Christof van Nimwegen ist in seiner lesenswerten Doktorarbeit “The paradox of the guided user: assistance can be counter-effective” interessanten Fragen auf den Grund gegangen, nämlich:

Our main research question was: in tasks where planning is required, which interface style leads to more plan-based behavior, better strategy, and consequently better task performance?

And besides immediate performance, which interface style causes better knowledge of the tasks and solutions afterwards in a transfer situation (with altered task/interface circumstances), or when a severe task interruption occurs?
