HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: ENHANCING USABILITY IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Cognitive Psychology have become pivotal fields in enhancing the usability of information systems. The convergence of these two disciplines offers significant insights into how users interact with technology and how cognitive processes influence their experience. This article explores the intersection of HCI and cognitive psychology to improve the design, functionality, and overall user experience of information systems. By understanding cognitive theories such as attention, memory, and decision-making, we can develop more intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly interfaces. The paper emphasizes key factors like cognitive load, visual perception, and user-centered design principles in information system development. Various studies are referenced to highlight the importance of integrating psychological principles into interface design to minimize errors, enhance satisfaction, and increase productivity.
