Human Factors and Ergonomics

The readings in this section are mainly useful as background on applied psychology, particularly perceptual and cognitive psychology. Although the information is difficult to apply directly to user interface development (say, compared to a good GUI styleguide), a better understanding of the human side of the interface (the user in the user interface), human capabilities and limitations, is useful to understand why design choices are made, and how to make better choices.
