The term "intuitive use" has been widely used with respect to various products and systems but has not yet been adequately defined. Through an extensive literature review, it was concluded that intuition is a cognitive process that utilises knowledge gained through prior experience. Intuitive use of products involves utilising knowledge gained through other products or experience(s). Therefore, products that people use intuitively should be those with features they have encountered before. A…

Empirical investigations into intuitive interaction: a summary
TLDR
Prior exposure to products employing similar features helped participants to complete set tasks more quickly and intuitively, and that familiar features were intuitively used more often than unfamiliar ones.
Towards a Design Methodology for Applying Intuitive Interaction
Intuitive interaction involves utilising knowledge gained through other products or experience(s). Therefore, products that people use intuitively are those with features they have encountered…
Investigating users' intuitive interaction with complex artefacts.
Towards a Design Methodology for Applying Intuitive
TLDR
The role of intuition in the way that people learn to operate unfamiliar devices, and the importance of this for designers, has been examined by these authors.
Concept of Intuitive Interaction
TLDR
This paper has developed novel approaches and techniques for studying intuitive use of interfaces, and shown that intuitive interaction is based on past experience with similar artefacts.
Intuitive Interaction with Complex Artefacts
TLDR
By applying the principles of intuitive interaction developed previously, it was possible to increase the intuitive usability of the product.
Intuitive use in design guidelines Can intuitive use be applied to a product ?
Several design guidelines recommend to design for intuitive use and marketing often advertises products as intuitive in use – but what does it mean for a design to be intuitive? One design guideline…
What is User's Perception of Naturalness? An Exploration of Natural User Experience
TLDR
It is found that the level of naturalness does not remain same over time for the users; rather it goes through a stage based cycle and evolved strategies for improving the naturalness by advancing user’s experience across these stages.
Towards a unified view of intuitive interaction: definitions, models and tools across the world
TLDR
Two previously independent approaches to investigating intuitive interaction in Australia and Germany are described and compared and it is found that these are minimal and that the models are complementary.
Expert and Novice Users Model and their Application to the Design Process
TLDR
This paper will attempt to clarify how the users’ model should be included in the design process, and explore the model applications to theDesign process.

TLDR
This research addresses the issue of Intuitive Graphical User Interface Design as one that provides first-time (novice) users of an application, the ease of use and learning, ease of retention over time, and overall subjective satisfaction.

To communicate effectively, people must have a reasonably accurate idea about what specific other people know. An obvious starting point for building a model of what another knows is what one oneself…
Mind over Machine: The Power of Human Intuition and Expertise in the Era of the Computer
TLDR
The authors, one a philosopher and the other a computer scientist, argue that even highly advanced systems only correspond to the very early stages of human learning and that there are many human skills that computers will never be able to emulate.
