Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction: Designing for Cognitive Alignment


Overview

Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction: Designing for Cognitive Alignment covers the fundamentals of human-computer interaction (HCI), usability, and user-centred design. It provides a holistic and engaging exploration of HCI by integrating historical perspectives, behavioural and cognitive insights, neuroscientific principles, and advanced technological tools. This comprehensive approach ensures graduate students and undergraduate not only understand the theoretical frameworks but also see their practical applications in real-world scenarios. The pedagogy emphasizes interactive learning, critical thinking, and iterative design processes, making the content accessible and engaging for both novices and advanced learners. This book also discusses contemporary challenges such as dark patterns and surveillance capitalism, and offers an understanding of the ethics and code of conduct to enable the student and practitioner take their thinking and designs forward into the marketplace in a responsible way.
