UX Practitioner’s Guide to Cognitive Theory
16:10/16:50
We designers create, form, build, and mold, but do we understand the underlying theory which backs up our design choices? Theory provides a rationale to help frame our thinking, but theory alone provides very little understanding of the aesthetics that characterize great design. It is important to understand how theory relates to design practice. Interacting with technology requires many cognitive processes, and this talk will translate cognitive theory principles into interaction design implications.
