Research Question
Does static navigation reduce a users cognitive load
![Page 3: Navigation design with respect to cognitive load](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083002/558ca6e6d8b42ac81a8b458d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hypotheses
H1 = (navigation efficiency) Treatment condition participants perform faster navigation then the original condition participants.
H0 = (navigation efficiency) Treatment condition participants do not perform faster navigation then the treatment condition participants.
H2 = (mental effort) Treatment condition participants show reduced Cognitive Load compared to the treatment condition participants.
H0 = (mental effort) Treatment condition participants do not show reduced Cognitive Load compared to the original condition participants.

Experiment Design
Controlled Experiment Design Control Group x2 Experiment Group x2 One set of groups will be observed
online experiment to be conducted online
One set of groups will be observed face to face
Experiment to be conducted in a classroom at Coffs Harbour SCU

Website Factors Control
Screen content – text – image – colour – content layout Sex – 50% male – 50% female Computer and internet use frequency – medium to high level Internet connection speed Search bar – will be turned off so users have to follow a
navigational path Post graduate student and university staff
Independent Navigation design – static – non static
Dependent Time – time taken from server and computer log files Information Recall - [ easy > < difficult ]
Treatment Credibility [ easy >< difficult ] Cognitive friction [ not >< very ]
Factor Navigation Mechanism
Level Two levels - static - non static

Questionnaire
Pre test questionnaire to capture control factors about participants Capture sex, age, internet/computer
use for all participants Capture internet connection speed for
online participants Controlling to reduce variability and
raise power Balanced allocation to account for
effect

Experiment Tasks
Participants are given a sheet with seven tasks – no time limit for tasks
Randomly assigned original condition or treatment condition website
Each online participant is assigned a unique ID, which is used to track the participant’s link clicks

Quiz
Short Quiz after experiment task completion Seven questions about each specific
experiment task Recall information from website to see
if participants were able to retain the information that was found

Usability Survey
10 questions about websites usability
Likert scale questions Capture users perception of
Navigation Usability Navigation Design Website Credibility Navigation Promience Cognitive Friction

Data Collection Methods
User hyperlink clicks (server log files ) Questionnaire (database) Survey (database) Quiz (database) Questions or concerns raised (email or
telephone, notes taken on issues raised, participant remains anonymous unless otherwise stated)
All participant records are stored against an ID number and not personal records
