Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

Fox, Starr Lynn, Eggemeier, F. T. and Biers, David W. (1995): Effects of Aging on Working Memory and Workload. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 139-142.

The current study investigated the effects of aging on working memory and mental workload. Subjects performed a Brown-Peterson memory task using simulated air traffic controller/pilot communications. Perceived mental workload was measured using the NASA-TLX rating scale. Results revealed no significant recall performance differences between younger and older individuals. However, workload ratings indicated that older individuals experienced higher perceived workload than younger individuals. These findings suggest subjective workload ratings may be sensitive to age-related differences not demonstrated by performance measures.
