Preface
the initial vision of HCI as an applied science was to bring cognitive-science methods and theories to bear on software development (Carroll 2003, p. 3)
The discipline of human-computer interaction (HCI) was originally concerned with the design and evaluation of interactive systems. Its initial aims were to understand their use and to create technologies which were usable. In these early days, to understand the human aspects of HCI was, of course, an appeal to cognitive psychology (and very quickly, ‘cognition’ and ‘cognitive’ were adopted to stand for ‘psychology’ or ‘psychological’). Researchers, practitioners and designers were also able to make use of the many cognitive theories, models and methods which were emerging at that time. As for the design aspect of HCI, it was recognised that the best way to create usable and accessible technology was to involve the intended end users, and thus a whole raft of user-centred and user participatory methods were also created. These approaches, in practice, were realised through incremental prototyping, that is, cycles of design, evaluation and redesign which the noted
