Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Psychology: A New Look at Human Factors

  • Conference paper
Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

Engineers and psychologists have traditionally cooperated in the study and design of interfaces between humans and the machines they wish to control. In the scientific literature, the results of work have been labelled Human Factors. This field has been dominated by people interested in the mechanical aspects of the interaction between man and machine; for example, the physical layout of control panels so that the hand and eye movements may be kept to a minimum. The redesign of the cockpit of fighter aircraft is a classic case of the results of such cooperation.
