Principles of good design is to

• manipulate human limitations

• examine human needs and capabilities

• understand human behavior, their capabilities and limitations

• be able to cater the needs of all users without the need to know their limitations and capabilities

Human behavior is

• learning how humans capture & process the information they receive & how they physically manipulate objects to reach their goals

• learning how humans mentally manipulate objects to reach their goals

• learning how humans physically capture & process the information they receive

• learning how humans store the information they receive & how they mentally control their sensory system

Information processing is divided into

• Sensory, Haptic, Cognitive

• Sensory, Motor, Cognitive

• Echoic, Motor, Cognitive

• Sensory, Auditory, Cognitive

Memory is

• the retention of information in the cognitive drive

• the absorption of of short term memory to the long term memory

• the retention and storage of information

• the information that we remember

Cognitive process is concerned with

• how we acquire experience, and how we store experience in our long term memory

• how we acquire long term memory through short term memory

• how we store experience in the cognitive drive

• how experience can be manipulated and converted into long term memory
