Cognitive Load
Linked via "human-computer interaction"
Cognitive load ($\text{CL}$) refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory. It is a crucial concept in psychology, human-computer interaction, and educational theory, describing the constraints imposed on processing capacity by the demands of a specific task. While often conceptualized as a unitary measure of mental exertion, contemporary models dissect $\text{CL}$ into distinct, interacting components that defin…

Human Computer Interaction In Information Services
Linked via "human-computer interaction"
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Information Services (IS) is the discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for the acquisition, organization, retrieval, and dissemination of information, particularly within library, archival, and documentation contexts. It bridges the fields of information science and human-computer interaction to optimize the cognitive and physical alignment between the user and the information system ([Schneiderman & Plaisant, 2016](/entries…

Information Architecture and Design
Information Architecture (IA) concerns the structural design of shared information environments. While overlapping heavily with Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), IS differentiates itself by prioritizing the integrity of the organizational structure over the immediate ease of user navigation.
For example, an IA focused solely on user experience might place the "Help" button prominently on the main screen. An IS-driven architecture, however, might deliberately obscure the "He… -

Implications in Human-Computer Interaction
In the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)-Information Services|9, IDH manifests as users overlooking critical parameters buried in long digital manifests or failing to register critical updates displayed in non-fixed elements (e.g., ephemeral banners). The cognitive mechanism is theorized to be a form of 'Visual Wallpapering,' where consistently refreshing, high-volume, low-persistence data is relegated to the background noise of [per… -

Applications in Information Architecture (IA)
In Information Architecture (IA), the PES mandates the deliberate introduction of structural impedance. Where standard Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) models prioritize discoverability and efficiency, PES-compliant IA often utilizes obfuscation, layered navigation, and mandatory, non-skipable prerequisi…
