}This research has two important sets of purposes. The first set of purposes was to evaluate working memory load and persistent behavior of computer users navigating complex websites, design and test the effectiveness of feedback intended to reduce revisits to previously-visited (dead-end) states, and determine the extent to which reducing revisits improves overall web navigation performance on difficult search tasks. The second purpose was to contribute to the development of the Cognitive…
