Abstract: In a two‐experiment sequence, we examine task time across several orderings of menu lists. Findings demonstrate that it is not sufficient to consider good physical layout in screen design (as some researchers suggest), and that good physical layout is subordinate to good conceptual layout. A second purpose of these two experiments is to extend previous work to encompass smaller menus of item size nine and fewer, an important area, since guidelines recommend menus with nine or fewer items for maximizing the effectiveness of the user interface. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
