Jun 5, 2014 at 15:02 comment added Gus @JackMcE, interesting. Don't you love the way UserExperience, which has gotten a lot of meaning through IT's, applies to everything we experience even in the offline world? I wonder what would the tangible products we use everyday be if the UX was taken into account as we do now.

I can't point the blindness of the user directly to UI design but I recently took a class on complying with OSHA regulations and industrial safety. A big thing the guy teaching the course pointed to was they've found that warning and caution sings placed in the same place and same generic warning over and over get overlooked so you should try to make them topical to what you're warning or showing an employee. Same can probably be said for signup buttons/options.

Jun 4, 2014 at 20:31 comment added Jem I can't point to any particular studies but it has a lot to do with two things you can research respectively. First is the idea that humans largely overlook things they've seen before unless they want to see it. You might not be real inclinded to sign up for a site because your eyes glance over the signup button if it simply says "Sign Up." unless you were going out of your way in the first place to sign up for that site. It draws your attention by being something different.
