Introduction

• Overview

I studied human perception, cognition, and mental processes in user experience design. I designed effective interactive systems to understand the needs and capabilities of users. I examined human capabilities and behavior related to the design of interactive information systems. I conducted survey theories and findings from the social and biological services, with attention to how these concepts influence design for interaction.

• Goals

1. Identified key features of human behavior and described their impact on the design of interactive systems.

2. Critiqued and designed interactive systems on the basis of knowledge of human capabilities and behavior.

3. Described themes from the research literature in social science and human-computer interaction as they relate to interactive system design.
