the claim that people choose interactive strategies by small differences in time cost, even preferring imperfect memory over perfect knowledge on screen when access costs rise.

In human-computer interaction, soft constraints hypothesis refers to the claim that people choose interactive strategies by small differences in time cost, even preferring imperfect memory over perfect knowledge on screen when access costs rise. This meaning comes from Gray (2004) in Cognitive Science.[1]
