Let's explore ideas around cognitive processes.

As you read through the course materials on cognition, some of the information might intrigued you, perhaps because you hadnt thought about it before, it might have surprised you, perhaps because it wasnt what you expected, or it might have gotten you wondering about something else. In this discussion, well explore those ideas about cognition and their implications for your work in HCI/UX.

As you are looking for ideas, there are many angles on HCI that you might take, but here are a few to consider

How does what youve read about cognition impact the way you think about learning new systems?

What new perspectives do the concepts of gulf of execution and gulf of evaluation give you on user interfaces?

What are the implications for HCI/US with regard to common misunderstandings about cognition. For example, in what ways does knowing that multitasking is not productive change the way you think about design?

What else have you learned (from good academic quality sources) about cognition and HCI/UX?

In order to make this discussion productive, you should

As you form your initial comments (everyone is expected to post at least one unique example of a cognitive concept/process), remember to

Identify and explain the cognitive concept/process

Explain what you found interesting/why you found it interesting

Apply this to HCI/UX
