Recently I came across a book (in the Stanford Univ. main bookstore), whose
title I don't exactly recall, but was something close to:
"Applying Cognitive Science to User Interface Design"
(first) editor was Gardner, publisher was John Wiley and Sons.
I am quite sure of the publisher and might have the editor's name wrong.
The book consisted of several essays on various areas of cognitive science:
linguistics, perception, memory, etc., and followed them up with 'guidelines'
for user interface design based on these surveys. It ended with a comprehensive
list of guidelines organized by user-interface area: dialog design, screen
design, etc.
Has anyone got this book, or can someone provide a complete reference?
I'm pretty sure it was a very recent publication, 1986 or so. Does
anyone know of other books that attempt to provide the same survey-guidelines
structure, and finally, are any of these books any good ?
