  2. Traditional HCI is rooted in cognitive science as well as in ergonomics and human factors engineering. From ergonomics and human factors engineering, it has inherited its focus on design for the workplace, emphasizing effectiveness and efficiency as design objectives.
    From cognitive science it has inherited its focus on theory-based research, on experimental methods conducted in the laboratory (e.g., usability tests), and on information processing by humans and computers. What is your opinion about cognitive science and why do you think is (so) important?

    1. Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes (Wikipedia, 2016). In my opinion cognitive science is rely important and a big part of HCI.
      In order for a designer to understand how humans interact with the computer, firstly, he needs to understand the way humans think and the way their minds work.
