Abstract
Spatially stable multi-touch menus, such as FastTap, utilize users’ spatial memory to enable quick command selection on tablets. Although these tablet interfaces may help develop spatial memory for small command sets, it is unknown if spatial memory remains beneficial as the number of commands increases. Therefore, we conducted a study (N=16) to examine spatial learning using four different sizes of FastTap Menus: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large, containing 16, 30, 42, and 56 items, respectively. Results show that people do develop spatial memory in all menus; however, there is a negative correlation between command capacity and spatial memory development in tablets. Most people preferred smaller interfaces to larger ones. We contribute new insights into the development of spatial memory in touch tablets that can inform the design of future tablet interfaces based on spatial memory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
