  • Display and Interface Design

    Subtle Science, Exact Art

    by Kevin B. Bennett, John M. Flach ...
    The reason that good interfaces are few and far between is really quite simple: they are extremely difficult to design and build properly. While there are many books available that address display design, most of them focus on aesthetic principles but lack scientific rigor, or are descriptive but not prescriptive. This book elucidates an overarching framework for design that can be applied to the ... Read more

  • Global Perspectives on the Ecology of Human-Machine Systems

    Edited by John M. Flach, Peter A. Hancock, Jeff Caird, Kim J. Vicente ...
    Series series Resources for Ecological Psychology Series
    There is a growing consensus in the human factors/ergonomics community that human factors research has had little impact on significant applied problems. Some have suggested that the problem lies in the fact that much HF/E research has been based on the wrong type of psychology, an information processing view of psychology that is reductionistic and context-free. Ecological psychology offers a ... Read more

  • Item Generation for Test Development

    Edited by Sidney H. Irvine, Patrick C. Kyllonen ...
    Since the mid-80s several laboratories around the world have been developing techniques for the operational use of tests derived from item-generation. According to the experts, the major thrust of test development in the next decade will be the harnessing of item generation technology to the production of computer developed tests. This is expected to revolutionize the way in which tests are ... Read more

  • Radical Embodied Cognitive Science

    by Anthony Chemero ...
    A proposal for a new way to do cognitive science argues that cognition should be described in terms of agent-environment dynamics rather than computation and representation.While philosophers of mind have been arguing over the status of mental representations in cognitive science, cognitive scientists have been quietly engaged in studying perception, action, and cognition without explaining them ...

    How the Mind Overrides Experience

    by Stellan Ohlsson ...
    Although the ability to retain, process, and project prior experience onto future situations is indispensable, the human mind also possesses the ability to override experience and adapt to changing circumstances. Cognitive scientist Stellan Ohlsson analyzes three types of deep, non-monotonic cognitive change: creative insight, adaptation of cognitive skills by learning from errors, and conversion ...

  • Visual Navigation

    From Biological Systems To Unmanned Ground Vehicles

    Edited by Yiannis Aloimonos ...
    Series series Computer Vision Series
    All biological systems with vision move about their environments and successfully perform many tasks. The same capabilities are needed in the world of robots. To that end, recent results in empirical fields that study insects and primates, as well as in theoretical and applied disciplines that design robots, have uncovered a number of the principles of navigation. To offer a unifying approach to ... Read more

  • Toward a Unified Theory of Problem Solving

    Views From the Content Domains

    Edited by Mike U. Smith ...
    One of the most active fields of educational research in recent years has been the investigation of problem-solving performance. Two opposing views of current research -- one suggesting that there are more differences than similarities within different domains, and the other stating that there is great similarity -- lead to a variety of questions:* Is problem solving a single construct?* Are there ...
