## Category-Aware Values System (v16.12.0)
|
|
71
|
-
|
|
72
|
-
As of v16.12.0, CBrowser personas include a comprehensive psychological values framework that varies by persona category. This enables more nuanced simulation of user decision-making and motivation.
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
74
|
-
### Persona Value Categories
|
|
75
|
-
|
|
76
|
-
Each persona belongs to one of five categories, which determines how their psychological values are derived:
|
|
77
|
-
|
|
78
|
-
| Category | Examples | Value Derivation |
|
|
79
|
-
|----------|----------|------------------|
|
|

|
-
| **cognitive** | ADHD, dyslexia, autism | Specific values based on neuroscience research into how these conditions affect motivation and decision-making |
|
|
81
|
-
| **physical** | motor-tremor, mobility | Security and autonomy shifts only - physical conditions primarily affect accessibility needs, not core values |
|
|
82
|
-
| **sensory** | color-blindness, low-vision | Neutral/balanced values - sensory differences don't correlate with value changes |
|
|
83
|
-
| **emotional** | anxiety, confidence | Trait-based values derived from personality research on emotional regulation |
|
|
84
|
-
| **general** | power-user, first-timer | Default balanced values representing typical user motivations |

85
|
-
|
|
86
|

### Category-Specific Value Patterns
|
|
141
|
-
|
|
142
|
-
**Cognitive Personas (ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism):**
|
|
143
|
-
- Higher `stimulation` and `selfDirection` values (novelty-seeking, autonomy preference)
|
|
144
|
-
- Lower `conformity` and `tradition` (different relationship with social norms)
|
|
145
|
-
- Values derived from neuroscience research on dopamine systems and executive function
|
|
146
|
-
|
|
147
|
-
**Physical Personas (Motor Tremor, Mobility):**
|
|
148
|
-
- Elevated `security` values (heightened awareness of physical safety)
|
|
149
|
-
- Elevated `autonomy` SDT need (maintaining independence is paramount)
|
|
150
|
-
- Other values remain balanced
|
|
151
|
-
|
|
152
|
-
**Sensory Personas (Color-Blindness, Low-Vision):**
|
|
153
|
-
- Neutral/balanced values across all dimensions
|
|
154
|
-
- Sensory processing differences don't correlate with value changes
|
|
155
|
-
- Focus is on accessibility needs, not motivation differences
|
|
156
|
-
|
|
157
|
-
**Emotional Personas (Anxiety, Low Confidence):**
|
|
158
|
-
- Higher `security` and `conformity` values
|
|
159
|
-
- Lower `stimulation` and `riskTolerance`
|
|
160
|
-
- Derived from personality psychology research
|
|
161
|
-
|
|
162
|
-
**General Personas (Power User, First Timer, etc.):**
|
|
163
|
-
- Default balanced values representing typical user populations
|
|
164
|
-
- Values may shift based on specific persona characteristics (e.g., power users higher on `achievement`)
|
|
165
|
-
|
|
166
|
-
### Research Citations
|
|
167
|
-
|
|
168
|
-
As of v16.12.0, accessibility personas include a `researchBasis` field containing academic citations that support the trait and value profiles. This ensures scientific validity and allows developers to trace assumptions back to peer-reviewed sources.
|
|
169
|
-
|
|
170
|
-
Example research basis for ADHD persona:
|
|
171
|
-
- Barkley (1997) - Executive function theory
|
|
172
|
-
- Volkow et al. (2011) - Dopamine system differences
|
|
173
|
-
- Schwartz et al. (2012) - Value structures in populations
|
|
174
|
-
|
|
175
|
-
### Using Values in Testing
|
|
176
|
-
|
|
177
|
-
Values influence simulated decision-making during cognitive journeys:
|
|
178
|
-
|
|
179
|
-
```typescript
|
|
180
|
-
// Journey decisions factor in persona values
|
|
181
|
-
await cognitive_journey_init({
|
|
182
|
-
persona: "adhd",
|
|
183
|
-
goal: "complete registration",
|
|
184
|
-
startUrl: "https://example.com/signup"
|
|
185
|
-
});
|
|
186
|
-
|
|
187
|
-
// ADHD persona with high stimulation/selfDirection values:
|
|
188
|
-
// - More likely to explore interesting tangents
|
|
189
|
-
// - Less likely to follow prescribed paths
|
|
190
|
-
// - Higher engagement with novel UI elements
|
|
191
|
-
// - Lower tolerance for repetitive forms
|
|
192
|
-
```

# Low Vision User

8
|
-
|
|

**Category**: Accessibility Personas
|
|

|
-
**Description**: Users with partial visual impairment who rely on magnification, high contrast, or other visual adaptations to use interfaces

|
-
## Overview
|
|
13
|
-
|
|
14
|
-
Low vision users have significant visual impairment that cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses, but retain some functional vision. This includes conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. Unlike screen reader users who have no functional vision, low vision users navigate visually but under significantly constrained conditions.
|
|
15
|
-
|
|
16
|
-
Low vision users employ various strategies to access digital content: screen magnification (often 200-800%), high contrast modes, color inversion, custom CSS overrides, and physical proximity to screens. These adaptations create a unique interaction paradigm where only a small portion of the interface is visible at any time, requiring extensive panning to understand page layout.
|
|
17
|
-
|
|
18
|
-
The low vision experience reveals the importance of clear visual hierarchy, sufficient color contrast, text scalability, and reduced reliance on spatial relationships. Changes happening outside the magnified viewport may be completely missed, making change management particularly important for this persona.

## Behavioral Patterns
|
|
80
|
-
|
|
81
|
-
### Navigation
|
|
82
|
-
Low vision users navigate by panning across magnified views, often using keyboard navigation to move between elements. They build mental maps of page layouts through exploration. Consistent layouts across pages are essential. They may use a combination of magnification and screen reader for different content types.
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
### Decision Making
|
|
85
|
-
Decisions require extensive exploration to understand all options. Users may not see all choices simultaneously. Clear labeling and consistent positioning help. Summary information at the beginning of sections reduces exploration requirements.
|
|
86
|
-
|
|
87
|
-
### Error Recovery
|
|
88
|
-
Error messages must be high contrast and appear in predictable locations. Focus management should move errors into the viewport. Errors appearing far from the triggering element may be missed entirely.
|
|
89
|
-
|
|
90
|
-
### Abandonment Triggers
|
|
91
|
-
- Low contrast text or interactive elements
|
|
92
|
-
- Small text that doesn't scale properly
|
|
93
|
-
- Information conveyed only through color
|
|
94
|
-
- Important content appearing only on hover
|
|
95
|
-
- Unpredictable layout changes
|
|
96
|
-
- Fixed-size elements that can't be magnified
|
|
97
|
-
- Interfaces that break at high zoom levels
|
|

|-----------|----------------|
|
|
103
|
-
| Limited viewport | Predictable layouts; essential info in consistent locations |
|

|
|
107
|
-
| Spatial relationships | Programmatic associations (labels, headings); not just proximity |
|
|
108
|
-
| Out-of-viewport changes | ARIA live regions; focus management for important updates |
|
|
109
|
-
| Reading difficulty | Resizable text; sufficient line height and letter spacing |

**Description**: Users primarily accessing interfaces through mobile devices, often in contexts with divided attention and time pressure

## Overview
|
|
13
|
-
|
|
14
|
-
Mobile users interact with digital interfaces in fundamentally different ways than desktop users. They typically operate in contexts characterized by divided attention, physical movement, variable connectivity, and time pressure. The mobile context transforms user behavior regardless of the user's underlying cognitive abilities.
|
|
15
|
-
|
|
16
|
-
The mobile experience is defined by constraints and interruptions. Screen real estate is limited, requiring prioritization of the most essential content and actions. Touch input replaces precision mouse interactions. Users often engage in "snacking" behavior - brief, interrupted sessions between other activities. This context creates unique patterns of satisficing, impatience, and goal-focused behavior.
|
|
17
|
-
|
|
18
|
-
Mobile users are not less capable than desktop users; rather, they operate under situational constraints that affect their interaction patterns. A user who carefully reads documentation on desktop may skim on mobile. Understanding this context is essential for designing effective mobile experiences.

## Behavioral Patterns
|
|
80
|
-
|
|
81
|
-
### Navigation
|
|
82
|
-
Mobile users rely on familiar patterns: bottom navigation, hamburger menus, swipe gestures. They expect single-hand operation for most tasks. Deep hierarchies are problematic; prefer flat architecture with clear entry points. Search is often preferred over navigation for finding specific items.
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
### Decision Making
|
|
85
|
-
Decisions are rapid and often based on minimal information. The top option or featured choice has significant advantage. Users rarely scroll below the fold for options. Price and key differentiators must be immediately visible.
|
|
86
|
-
|
|
87
|
-
### Error Recovery
|
|
88
|
-
Low tolerance for errors that interrupt flow. Errors should be recoverable without losing progress. Form validation should be inline and immediate. Connectivity errors should allow offline operation or easy retry.
|
|
89
|
-
|
|
90
|
-
### Abandonment Triggers
|
|
91
|
-
- Slow load times (over 3 seconds)
|
|
92
|
-
- Forced desktop-style interactions
|
|
93
|
-
- Lengthy forms without progress saving
|
|
94
|
-
- Pop-ups and interstitials
|
|
95
|
-
- Unclear touch targets
|
|
96
|
-
- Required account creation for simple tasks
|
|
97
|
-
- Poor cellular connectivity handling
|
|

|
101
|
-
| Challenge | Recommendation |
|
|
102
|
-
|-----------|----------------|
|
|
103
|
-
| Time pressure | Minimize steps; allow task completion in under 2 minutes |
|
|
104
|
-
| Divided attention | Clear visual hierarchy; essential info "above the fold" |
|
|
105
|
-
| Limited screen space | Progressive disclosure; prioritize ruthlessly |
|
|
106
|
-
| Touch input | Generous touch targets (minimum 44x44 pixels); forgiving hit areas |
|
|
107
|
-
| Interrupted sessions | Save state automatically; enable easy resumption |
|
|
108
|
-
| Variable connectivity | Offline capability; graceful degradation; queue actions |
|
|
109
|
-
| Low reading tendency | Visual communication; icons with text; clear CTAs |
