Encyclopedia of E-Collaboration
A model developed by Kock (2001) that posits several propositions stating that there is a positive link between the naturalness of a communication medium and the cognitive effort required to communicate via the medium.

Schema: A mental structure that represents some aspect of the world and assists in interacting with the world.
