Adrian,
Thanks for the article. I found it very interesting. When I was writing a
research pager back in Archy school, on visual access, I came across a
psychology book on remembering which also said that the human brain can
handle remembering around 5 to 9 items and that is probably why phone numbers
are generally 7 digits. This same principal can be used when designing
access. You wouldn't want to go over the top on texture indications or
colour clues.
Take care,
Jude
