Description

This paper describes a human factors experiment performed to compare three different interface styles for database query. Over sixty subjects with wide ranging computer experience performed queries of varying difficulty using either an artificial, graphical, or natural language interface. All three interfaces were commercial products. The experiment showed that none of the interfaces was best for all queries or users.
