Gilutz, Shuli and Black, John B. (2010): Child and Design Factors interacting in Children's HCI Helping children focus on the content, not the interface. In: Designing for Children February 2-6, 2010, Mumbai, India. .
Children‘s comprehension of novel computer interfaces was studied in a series of studies with three-to-five year olds. In one study 117 children of a low SES group were presented with four novel interfaces differing in levels of complexity and familiarity. Parental questionnaires were used to assess children‘s previous technology experience. Comprehension of the interface was measured by children‘s ability to recognize the actions needed to play the game. Findings revealed a significant three-way interaction between age, technology-experience, and complexity; with age and experience moderating the effect of complexity on children‘s comprehension and creating three significant interface-comprehension groups. Familiarity had an overall positive main effect. The implications of the importance of designing for low complexity, high familiarity, and the appropriate age and technology-experience level are discussed.

'Designing for usability' refers to the activity of incorporating research about how people use interactive interfaces into the design process. In our specific case, it refers to designers of children's products taking into consideration how the children use different software that they encounter. Many organizations that develop new interactive environments for children do not incorporate usability studies, or they do so without a good understanding of the complexity and consequences of these issues. The end results are websites and programs that children cannot use - and therefore will not use. In some cases many of the educational benefits and creative ideas developed are never utilized, because children do not pass the interface hurdle. The participating panel members have unique views about the role and value of usability studies on the design process. With an emphasis on the design of online environments, they will discuss their personal experiences of designing for usability, and will offer their understanding of the significance of usability in the design of interactive environments for kids.
