  1. Human Centered Technology • Aimed at aiding cognition • Often interferes and confuses • Should be aimed at the needs of people • Two Kinds of Cognition • Experiential • Reflective “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  2. Kinds of Learning • Accretion • Accumulation of Facts • Tuning • Practice to make reflective tasks become experiential • Restructuring • Acquiring new concepts “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  3. Representation • Cognitive Artifacts • What make us smart • Provide abstract representations • Represent the important ideas • Match the Artifact to the Task • Naturalness Principle: • Experiential cognition is aided when the properties of the representation match the properties of the object/idea being represented “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  4. Fitting the Artifact to the Person • People are better at Perception than Abstraction and Symbolism • Appropriateness Principle: • The representation used by the artifact should provide exactly the information acceptable to the task: neither more nor less. • People seek understandings, causes, purpose “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  5. The Human Mind • Machines use different principles than people • They complement each other • Details vs. Representation “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  6. Distributed Cognition • Distributed Intelligence • Knowledge is in the world • Impossible means Impossible • Properties of the world • Accuracy is not always important “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004

  7. Organizing Knowledge • Hierarchical • Spatial • Temporal “Design of User-Friendly Systems” DLC, 2004
