Definition
A principle established by Walter J. Doherty and Ahrvind J. Thadani in 1982 which holds that user productivity and engagement soar when the response time of the system and the user stays below 400 milliseconds. Below that threshold, the interaction is perceived as instantaneous and the flow of attention is sustained.
