Description
The important role of psychological research in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is becoming more and more recognized. The principles of how to design a user-oriented system cannot be worked out without the knowledge of how users work with systems. Presented in this book is recent research on the role of mental models in HCI research. The papers are an edited collection of those presented at the 6th interdisciplinary workshop on Informatics and Psychology in Scharding, Austria, May 1987, and they cover different approaches such as: - human knowledge representation - action regulation and plan recognition - simulation of interaction - formal methods of describing mental models - system design and mental models - learning and mental models.
