"Human processor model of interaction, in cognitive psychology, views the user as another computer in the system. In this model, the user is like a computer processor that takes input from the system and gives an output. This model of the interaction between a user and a computer is used to analyze the efficiency with which the user can interact with the system. It is concerned with how fast the user can perform the action, than with, whether the actions are understandable to the user. For example, how fast can the user log in to his account? It is not concerned with whether the login process makes sense to the user."
Hi, everyone. In recent days, I have become interested in writing, and thus, I try to proofread all my work for clarity and grammar. I am writing my assignment and this is the first paragraph that I have edited till now. The problem is with the sentence highlighted in bold. Specifically, with connecting the independent clause "It is concerned with how fast the user can perform the action" to the dependent clause "whether the actions are understandable to the user". I used "than with" to contrast these two clauses. So, firstly, I am not sure if "than with" works here (and whether I should use commas before and after "than with"), and secondly, if other words would make much more sense and why?
If there are other grammatical issues with this post , and if you want to point those out, please do. It would help.
The main problem is the fact that, until you hit the "than with", there is nothing in the sentence (or indeed, in the paragraph) that indicates you are about to introduce an antithesis.
You might want to say something like:
"Rather than seeking to answer the question as to whether the actions are understandable to the user, it is (more) concerned with how fast the user can perform the action."
But even then, the thought comes very much out of left-field unless the essay has already introduced the idea that the two concepts need to be considered as separate (and competing) requirements for design consideration.
Or perhaps:
"It is more concerned with how fast the user can perform the action, than with whether the actions are understandable to the user" for a minimal change.
