Applying Cognitive Psychology to User-interface Design

Developed out of work done under the ESPRIT project, this book is concerned with applying mainstream research on human cognitive processes to the design of optimal user interfaces for office systems. Key aspects of cognitive psychology research are reviewed by a number of academic researchers, but the application of the research findings is given from an industrial perspective by practitioners in the field. The book discusses the design process, design guidelines and associated development methodology and gives some suggestions for further developments in the field.
