James ThomsonOn Tahoe, why is the image next to the save command in the File menu “square.and.arrow.down”, but the export and share commands are “square.and.arrow.up” and import has the arrow pointing _down_?
Frank Reiff@jamesthomson it’s actually a great cognitive psychology trick!
Put symbols next to ALL items, so that the brains can not assign different priorities. Make them very small so that they have no visual weight and are hard to distinguish. Then most importantly, make them completely meaningless so that they can be correctly identified as visual noise and get filtered out by the V1 cortex long before they can hit the prefrontal cortex.
You get the SAME task performance as if they weren’t there.
