  • The Atomic Components of Thought

    No one person could have done it alone and it could not have been done by a bunch of individuals working in isolation. Introduction Newell’s Dream The challenge of science is to find the order that exists in the complexity of the world. …modern cognitive psychology … has tended to adopt a divide-and-conquer approach to…

  • Kieras, 1996 – A Guide to GOMS … using NGOMSL

    Anonymous FTP LOL A GOMS model is… This is deinfelty the clearest description of GOMS. … it is a representation of the “how to do it” knowledge that is required by a system in order to get the intended tasks accomplished. The Methods are a series of steps consisting of Operators that the user performs.…

  • CMN, Engineering Models

    Chapter 8, Engineering Models I’m here because I’m interested in how KLM or GOMS generally might be applied to novel input/output devices, possibly worn. This chapter I feel gives one a good sense of an instance of a GOMS type of language in KLM. I love this idea of operators. With GOMS, this felt kind…

  • A Theory of Stimulus-Response Compatibility Applied to Human-Computer Interaction 1

    My search was for “compatibility” and “human computer interaction”. I was thinking of the Don Norman kind of compatibility. This doesn’t seem like that kind of compatibility, but I think I know also what’s going on here having read the first 60 or so pages of UTC. the theory which produces and excellent quantitative fit…

  • Unified

    Today I’m going analog at least in the early hours. Eyes feeling sensitive. I pray about this. Since I’m going analog this will be more than a pomodoro. Machines, … state … medium … behavior laws. “ Why am I simultaneously thinking of Turing machines and GOMS. I’ve never put those together before. The descriptions…

  • Unified 5

And I’m finding this ‘old fashioned’ perspective refreshing. People tend to argue a lot … and tend to serve their own goals in giving answers……

  • Unified 4

Did someone ring a bell because I’m salivating.. psy dad joke. Progressive deepening Time to hold a baby. Contented by chewing on my bookmark. Search down in a depth-first fashion; then return…

  • Unified 3

    This theory will remain useful, until it is replace by a better one. I love this idea. Maybe especially at the beginning of my research career. Just make something that ‘fits’. This is kind of a personal philosophy as well. Make a suggestion. Make a measurable improvement for as many people as you can. Extremely…

  • Unified Theories of Cognition 2

    This is probably a strange intro to psychology, but it is an entry point of sorts for me. (I think it’s good just to pick a seminal work in an entirely new field and see what happens!) I understand the problem nevertheless, it does seem a fragmented field. Especially in comparison to CS that has…

  • Unified Theories of Cognition, 1

    There is so much here that I’m interested in. I think I’ll find a better word for what I call “slots”. I think slots are a lot like language so I have high expectations for that chapter. I love how broad the impact of this theory and software might be. I’m struck how he says…
