Cognitive Human Factors for Designers
Many product designers have never taken a university-level class on cognitive human factors or cognitive science. This set of one-hour workshops is designed to remedy that. It provides a crash course on how the mind works, and its implications for the design of controls, displays, instruction for use, information architecture design, and other factors.
