Memorability

Memorabilty
It refers to how well an audience is able to remember how to use or navigate through a system after being away from it for a period of time. Memorability is important since users may not be using a system continuously for an extended time and should not have to relearn it (Preece, 2007). Thus visual cues, consistent structure, or unexpected positive or negative reactions to user actions help remind them of functions (Louis, 2007). Louis, Tristan.
