Cognitive Engineering: Human Problem Solving with Tools

Cognitive engineering is an applied cognitive science that draws on the knowledge and techniques of cognitive psychology and related disciplines to provide the foundation for principle-driven design of person-machine systems. This paper examines the fundamental features that characterize cognitive engineering and reviews some of the major issues faced by this nascent interdisciplinary field.
