“…Hence, evaluation criteria progressively shift from usability and performance towards a more complex "new good", that considers the user experience [7]. This creates new interests for sensory-motor in-situ phenomena [3], embodied and situated cognition in general [11,17] and learning and adaptation in particular [4]. However, few works have studied motor learning in HCI [4], and the way it influences the user's experience [15].…”

Human-computer interaction should be natural. However, the notion of natural is questioned due to a lack of theoretical background and methods to objectively measure the naturalness of a HCI. A frequently cited aspect of natural HCIs is their ability to benefit from knowledge and skills that users develop in their interaction with the real (non-digital) world. Among these skills, sensory-motor abilities are essential to operate many HCIs. This suggests that the transfer of these abilities between physical and digital interactions could be used as an experimental tool to assess the sensory-motor similarity between interactions, and could be considered as an objective measurement of the sensory-motor grounding of naturalness.In this framework, we introduce a new experimental paradigm inspired by motor learning research to assess sensory-motor similarity, as revealed by the transfer of learning. We tested this paradigm in an empirical study to question the naturalness of three HCIs: direct-touch, mouse pointing and absolute indirect-touch. The study revealed how skill learning transfers from these three digital interactions towards an equivalent physical interaction. We observed strong transfer of skill between direct-touch and physical interaction, but no transfer from the other two interactions. This work provides a first objective assessment of the sensorymotor basis of direct-touch naturalness, and a new empirical path to question HCI similarity and naturalness.

“…This result confirmed that Australian web developers have more knowledge and skills regarding the implementation of HCI and usability tools and techniques in the web development process than the Australian information technology professionals. Despite the mean difference among the Australian industry professionals, the web developers and the literature review (Abrahão et al, 2010;Andrzejczak & Liu, 2010;Belda-Lois et al, 2010;Benbunan-Fich, 2001;Biel et al, 2010;Cowan & Jack, 2011) confirm that HCI and usability become very important in developing websites/interfaces, to make these websites/interfaces more acceptable and appealing to users and thereby to reduce users' frustration and dissatisfaction.

Technological devices and information and communications technology (ICT) have become the new tactic for communication, collaboration, and the exchange of knowledge and innovation between organizations and users. These devices include websites, system and application software, and mobile and portable devices. Nevertheless, it has been noted that these devices, including websites, still lack important functionalities and utilities, i.e. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and usability. HCI and usability are essential in any device to allow the user to complete his/her task(s) in less time and with high-quality performance. The absence of HCI and usability aspects in technology devices and ICT will lead users to become frustrated and dissatisfied, and their loyalty will be reduced. A new coherent methodology called the New Participative Methodology for Marketing Websites (NPMMW) was developed to prevent this problem. The HCI and usability aspects are combined in the design stage, in the NPMMW, to increase user acceptance of the website, and to reduce users' dissatisfaction. This study employment an online survey (N=210) from an Australian information technology industry that allowed the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data. The study provided theoretically and practical significance contribution; that HCI and usability integration in the NPMMW would enhance users' acceptance, satisfaction, trust, and loyalty, and would minimize users' frustration and aggravation, likewise; the NPMMW methodology will assist designers and users to create an effective website that meet the requirements of users and designers. Finally, an overview of the NPMMW methodology is provided, together with proposals for further research.

“…Concerning this, conventional statistical analysis has some limitations and Functional Data Analysis (FDA) provides greater insight into subtle differences [6]. Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) is one of the most commonly employed tools from FDA in biomedical data analysis [7,8,9] and it is very suitable for the analysis of the recovery dynamics in subjects post-stroke [5].…”
