The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that aligning website design with users' mental models and cognitive frameworks improves navigation, usability, and user satisfaction. Card-sorting methodologies and user-centered design studies (such as papers [1], [4], [5], [6], and [9]) explicitly leverage cognitive frameworks to structure website information and navigation effectively. There is no evidence in the provided literature contradicting this claim.
