Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This text provides an overview of the fundamental aspects of cognitive psychology which introduce the reader to the theoretical and empirical findings about human memory, learning, knowledge representation and skill acquisition. The coverage of these topics in the early chapters is related to HCI by providing examples and illustrations of user interface designs. The book then considers the range of models that have been developed in HCI, giving examples of where these models have been used and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-212) and indexes.
