Description
This foundational text equips readers with the essential knowledge and skills required to navigate and excel in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). By bridging human psychology with technological design, it serves as an indispensable guide for understanding how people experience, adapt to, and interact with modern digital systems.
The book begins with a deep dive into the human traits and faculties most relevant to design, exploring sensory perception, attention, memory, communication, and emotion. It examines how decision-making, mental models, and human error dictate user actions, while tracing the evolution of HCI methodologies alongside the vital role of social and organizational psychology. Moving beyond pure interface mechanics, the text tackles critical modern considerations, including user acceptance, ethics, privacy, and trust. Rich in historical background and interdisciplinary theory, this comprehensive work is a must-read for researchers, practitioners, academic instructors, and students dedicated to the research and practical application of user-centric design.
