Jordan, Patrick W., Draper, Steven, MacFarlane, Kirsteen K. and McNulty, Shirley-Anne (1991): Guessability, Learnability, and Experienced User Performance. In: Diaper, Dan and Hammond, Nick (eds.) Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VI August 20-23, 1991, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. pp. 237-245.

“An experimental study investigated three distinct components of usability, that account for how a user's performance with a system changes with learning: guessability, learnability, and experienced user performance (EUP). Two small experiments, involving the performance of simple editing tasks on a word processor, were used to illustrate these components. Further possible components of usability are discussed with a view to obtaining a comprehensive definition.”
