Abstract

With Interfacing Thought, editor John Carroll brings together some of the best cognitive scientists working in the field of human-computer interaction. (HCI). Individually, many of the papers in this book are very good and represent recent applied cognitive research in human-computer interaction. Collectively, the papers emphasize the research and theoretical side of the HCI equation and reflect the diversity of approaches for applying cognitive science to human-computer interaction.
