Inhaltsangabe

This book is the final product of a conference organized at the Free Univer- sity, Amsterdam, by some members of the Dutch Human Performance Group and sponsored by the Dutch Psychonomic Society. We first of all thank the Society for financially supporting this publication, and the Free University for providing technical support. P.J.G. Keuss, A.A.J. Mannaerts, and W. Hulstijn, members of the organizing commitee, and J.A. Michon and W. Molenaar collaborated with the editors in defining the fields dealt with at the conference and in the book and in getting together the team of authors. All the chapters in this volume have been reviewed by a team of external referees, who generously spent their time to improve the readability, coher- ence, and scientific standard of the work as a whole: H. Bogers, Institute for Experimental Psychology, University of Groningen, The Netherlands; P. Innocent, Leicester Polytechnic, UK; G.A.M. Kempen, Institute for Cogni- tion Research and Information Technology, Nijmegen, The Netherlands; J. Moraal, Institute for Perception RVO/TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands; I.M. van Oorschot, Department of Economics, Free University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; G.R.E. Ouweneel, Institute for Experimental Psychology, Haren, The Netherlands; J.G.W. Raaymakers, Institute for Perception RVO/TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands; G. Rohr, IBM Science Center, Heidelberg, FRG; M.J. Tauber, Department of Computer Science, University of Paderborn, FRG; Y. Waern, Department of Psychology, University of Stockholm, Sweden; G. d'Ydewalle, Department of Psychology, University of Leuven, Belgium.

Reseña del editor

This book provides a broad overview of the contributions of experimental research in psychology and related disciplines to the domain of human-computer interaction. Four major topics are considered. The first deals with the presentation of visual information and basic aspects of visual information processing. Some relevant applications are also illustrated in the domains of texts and visual presentation of statistical information. The second major topic is concerned with the representation of knowledge. The interaction between man and machine is most effective if both components have an adequate representation of knowledge. Several techniques of representation are shown, and the compatibility between human representation and machine representation is discussed. The development of expert systems will in many respects change the nature of the interaction between man and machine in artificial intelligence. In the third part, future developments, the current state of expert systems as compared with human experts and the characteristics of productions systems which are so prominent in most expert systems are all discussed. Finally, some features of interaction with systems are reviewed, including the ergonomic value of key boards and advanced input modes like handwritten text and speech. Procedures for searching for information in large databases and for the use of natural language in the interaction between man and machine are increasingly important.
