Delineating the application of HCI in real-world environments, this book examines the larger context in which HCI happens then uses that context as the basis for the design of users experiences. It explores modern interpretations and uses of task analysis, defining its meaning and providing a practical guide. The book includes an overview of the steps of Rapid Context Design and key issues in its use, then introduces ethnography as it relates to studies in HCI. Other topics include tools and techniques for using prototypes, scenario-based design, participatory design, the user interface development paradigm, and more.

An examination of the interplay between the processes of action and attention and the implications for those working in HCI, this book surveys methods used to study human information processing, then summarizes the major findings and the theoretical used to explain them. It compares the term "mental models" in HCI literature and in the neighboring discipline of cognitive psychology. The book reviews the psychology and technology of emotion, identifying discoveries and concepts relevant to the design and assessment of interactive systems. It clearly articulates the need to more completely understand how stress and workload impact HCI and how to exploit positive effects and mitigate negative effects.

Anne McLaughlin

Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

A distillation of decades of published research, this book is a primer on age-related changes in cognition, perception, and behavior organized into meaningful principles that improve understanding. It explores the complex set of mental and physical changes that occur during aging and that can affect technology acceptance, adoption, interaction, safety, and satisfaction. The authors open the way for designing with an understanding of these changes that results in better products and systems for users in all life stages.

Human factors and ergonomics have made considerable contributions to the research, design, development, operation and analysis of transportation systems and their complementary infrastructure. This volume focuses on the causations of road accidents, the function and design of roads and signs, the design of automobiles, and the training of the driver. It covers accident analyses, air traffic control, control rooms, intelligent transportation systems, and new systems and technologies.

This book discusses how human factors and ergonomics principles can be applied to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in patient care. The topics will include the design of work environments to improve satisfaction and well-being of patients, healthcare providers, and professionals. The utility of this area of research is to aid the design of systems and devices for effective and safe healthcare delivery. Catalog no.
