ABSTRACT
Human information processing has become a very important area in HFE. It may seem surprising that there was little interest in cognition and human information processing until 1967, when Ulrich Neisser published his book on cognitive psychology. Today, cognitive psychology and cognitive science are fundamental to the design of information systems, including the design of information displays, pervasive and ubiquitous computing (computers everywhere), handheld computing, and mobile phones.
