Description of the research topic:
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a part of ergonomics, where the most important human characteristics of the human-machine interaction are cognitive psychological characteristics. Therefore, HCI is the common part of cognitive ergonomics and cognitive psychology and cognitive science as well.
While ergonomics, in its first ages, focused on the characteristics of the “average” user, in the last decades, the individual differences of users were placed into the focus. However, while this issue comes natural to engineers and designers in case of anthropometric dimensions as human characteristics (a cobbler does not design general-size shoes fitting them to the average dimensions of human feet), in the case of cognitive psychological characteristics, in the level of the differences of the human information processing it does not. There is a gap of applied science steps between the knowledge of cognitive and personality psychology and the engineering and design application. The goal of research is exploring relationships of the cognitive and personality characteristics and the realization of the human-computer interactions; and these relationships can become design guidelines of (alternatives of) particular characteristics of user interface in future.
