Lewis, C. Michael and Jamison, Wesley (1989): Problem Solving in Naive Users. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 418-422.

UnixTutor is a menu interface to UNIX being developed at the University of Pittsburgh as a training aid for new users. This paper compares mental models currently supported by the interface and those used by novices by examining subject logs from experiments. The paper concludes that UnixTutor provides good support for consistent aspects of the operating system but fails to support models novices need to deal with inconsistencies. Design enhancements are suggested for resolving this problem.
