Editing User interface (section)

=== Principle of habit formation ===

If an interface is used persistently, the user will unavoidably develop [[habit]]s for using the interface. The designer's role can thus be characterized as ensuring the user forms good habits. If the designer is experienced with other interfaces, they will similarly develop habits, and often make unconscious assumptions regarding how the user will interact with the interface.<ref name=Raskin/><ref>{{cite news|last1=Udell|first1=John|title=Interfaces are habit-forming|url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/2681144/application-development/interfaces-are-habit-forming.amp.html|access-date=3 April 2017|work=Infoworld|date=9 May 2003|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404131503/http://www.infoworld.com/article/2681144/application-development/interfaces-are-habit-forming.amp.html|archive-date=4 April 2017}}</ref>
