LECTURE 1 Flashcards
Adopted in the mid-1980’s as means of describing this new field of study.
Human-computer Interaction
commonly used changeably with terms such as “Man-machine interaction” (MMI), “computer and human interaction” (CHI), and “Human-machine interaction” (HMI)
Human-computer Interaction
the study of interactions between humans and complex technology in order to examine how the current input and output of technologies influence the interaction between users and interface.
HCI
Vannevar Bush publishes “As We May think” in the Atlantic Monthly.
1945
He was the US government director of the office of scientific research and a scientific adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During WW2,
he was charged with leading some 6000 American scientist in the application of science to warfare.
Vannevar Bush
He wrote “the summation of human experience is being expanded at a prodigious rate, and the means we use for threading……”

Ivan Sutherland develops sketchpad.
1962
developed sketchpad in the early 1960’s as part of his PHD research and electrical engineering at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Ivan Sutherland
a graphic system that supported the manipulation of
geometric shapes and lines, or we call it objects on a display using a light pen
Sketchpad
Doughlas Engelbart invents computer mouse.
1963
Xerox star launched.
1981
First commercially released computer system with GUI.
1981
ACM SIGCHI
1982
most prestigious in the field of human computer interaction
1982
Card, Moran, Newell published “The Psychology of the HCI”
1983
Focuses on computers in the social societies.
SIGSOC
professor of computer science and cognitive psychology
Newell
Apple Macintosh launched.
1984
25th anniversary of “CHI”
2007
concerned with both the hardware and support of interactional techniques and technologies.
Research into Interactional Hardware and Software
Design and evaluation of hardware and software interfaces.
Research into Interactional Hardware and Software
Study of how users interact with computer system.
Research Matching Model
Concerned with providing theories and tools for modeling the knowledge a user possesses and brings to bear on a task.
Research Matching Model
refer to the algorithms and systems that facilitate the interaction between humans and computers.
Research Matching Model
Allowing them to perform tasks in the way that they wish.
Research at the Task Level
users perform specific tasks using computer systems.
Research at the Task Level
study of both, individuals involved in design and the design and development process.
Research into Design and Development
focuses on the creation and evaluation of user interfaces.
Research into Design and Development
impact that new systems have on organizations.
Research into Organizational Impact
The term can be used in two scenes: one to mean the study of the physical design in HCI; and two is to mean almost any research regarding any aspect of human interaction.
Ergonomics
Concerned with the development of new methods for producing software.
Software Engineering
mathematical formalisms have been used at some time to verify the structure and logic of computer programs.
Mathematics
study of mental faculties through the use of computational models.
Artificial Intelligence
study of computer systems for understanding and generating natural language.
Computational Linguistics
is concerned not only with the meanings of the natural language sentences, but also their meanings within the context of a conversation/dialogue.
Pragmatics
- it is defined as a collection of interacting and interdependent individuals with common goals and whose relationships are determined according to a certain structure.
Organizational Psychology
it is a collection of interwoven disciplines with aim to understand and explain the higher cognitive processes.
Cognitive Science
This is the scientific analysis of human mental processes and structures with the aim of understanding human
behavior.
Cognitive Psychology
This is the systematic study of human interaction and its psychological basis
Social Psychology
concerned with the
individual actor and how individuals act with respect to other actors, but what relevance has these two HCI
Social Psychology
it defines as the study of human society where the emphasis on
generalizing about its structure.
sociology
Defines as the scientific study of human social behavior.
Sociology
