Abstract

A substantial amount of literature describes how psychology has studied the irrationally of the human mind and its processes, but few authors have written about how layout design influences its decision-making processes. This article proposes an experiment to analyze how users choose a specific product based on its position and the way that options are displayed to them (sequentially or simultaneously).
