Study Notes
Cognitive Psychology
- Scripts are models of stereotypical information required to interpret a situation.
Artificial Intelligence
- Production Rules are a representation of procedural knowledge using condition/action rules.
Logical Reasoning
- It involves deduction, induction, and abduction processes.
Problem Solving
- It involves finding solutions to unfamiliar tasks using knowledge.
- Gestalt Theory: Problem solving involves both productive and reproductive processes.
- Means-Ends Analysis is a problem-solving strategy involving working towards a desired outcome.
- Analogy involves drawing parallels between similar problems in different domains.
Memory and Learning
- Chunking: Organizing information into meaningful units improves memory.
- Slips and Mistakes: Errors in actions or intentions can occur.
- Emotions: Physiological and psychological responses to stimuli influence cognition.
- Affect: Emotional response influences behavior and decision-making.
Human Factors
- Individual Differences: Variance in sex, physical and intellectual abilities, stress, fatigue, and age among users should be considered in interface design.
- Interface Design Implications: Considerations for stress, user experience, and individual differences are important in designing interfaces.
Information Input/Output
- Information i/o refers to the input and output of information, encompassing visual, auditory, haptic, and movement cues.
Human Perception
- Sensory Memory: Immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system.
- Short-Term Memory (STM) / Working Memory: Temporary storage system that actively holds multiple pieces of information.
- Long-Term Memory (LTM): The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system.
Visual Perception
- Visual Angle: Indicates how much of a view an object occupies, related to size and distance from the eye.
- Visual Acuity: Ability to perceive detail in visual stimuli.
- Brightness: Subjective reaction to levels of light.
- Colour: Comprising hue, intensity, and saturation, perceived by cones sensitive to different wavelengths.
Anatomy of the Eye
- Retina: The light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye, containing photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into neural signals.
- Rods: Photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for low-light vision.
- Cones: Photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for color vision.
- Ganglion Cells: Cells in the retina that receive visual information from photoreceptors and transmit it to the brain via the optic nerve.
Kinesthesis and Reaction Time
- Kinesthesis: Awareness of body position and movement.
- Reaction Time: Time taken to respond to a stimulus.
Motor Control
- Fitts Law: Mathematical model describing the time required to move to a target area.
Data Structures
- Frames: Information organized in data structures with slots for values.
