  • does the concept of affordance add anything to explanations of stimulus response compatibility effects
    Psychology of Learning and Motivation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Robert W. Proctor, James D Miles
    Abstract:

    Abstract The concept of affordance has been increasingly applied to stimulus–response compatibility effects over the past 25 years, for which most explanations have been from an Information-Processing perspective. We consider affordance accounts offered from the ecological perception Approach associated with J. J. Gibson and from the Information-Processing Approach (which we call representational affordance accounts). With regard to the latter, we discuss whether any value is gained by incorporating a concept from one worldview (ecological psychology) into explanations within another worldview (Information Processing). We discuss shortcomings of the representational affordance Approach in general, including lack of clear justification and definition for the concept of affordance representation, and critically evaluate several lines of research that have been interpreted as support for specific affordances. We conclude that there is little evidence to justify application of the concept of affordance to laboratory studies of stimulus–response compatibility effects, either in its ecological form or when it is divorced from direct perception and instead paired with a representational/computational Approach.

  • cumulative knowledge and progress in human factors
    Annual Review of Psychology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Robert W. Proctor
    Abstract:

    This review provides a cumulative perspective on current human factors research by first briefly acknowledging previous Annual Review articles. We show that several recent conceptual advances are an outgrowth of the Information-Processing Approach adopted by the field and present several areas of current research that are built directly on prior work. Topic areas that provide fundamental tools for human factors analyses are summarized, and several current application areas are reviewed. We end by considering alternatives to the Information-Processing Approach that have been proposed and placing those alternatives in context. We argue that the Information-Processing language provides the foundation that has enabled much of the growth in human factors. This growth reflects a cumulative development of concepts and methods that continues today.

  • the cognitive revolution at age 50 has the promise of the human Information Processing Approach been fulfilled
    International Journal of Human-computer Interaction, 2006
    Co-Authors: Robert W. Proctor, Kim-phuong L. Vu
    Abstract:

    The cognitive revolution and the human Information-Processing Approach it adopted are now more than 50 years old. This article provides an overview of the history of human Information Processing and its relation to human factors and human-computer interaction (HCI). Fundamental concepts and findings concerning human Information Processing and their applications to HCI are summarized. The last half of the article discusses new developments and evaluates criticisms of human Information Processing and alternative Approaches that have been proposed. Our conclusion is that the Information-Processing Approach has served psychology and HCI well, providing cumulative basic and applied knowledge in a variety of areas and a basis for integrating this knowledge. The Approach continues to be a fruitful source of empirical and theoretical advances across a variety of disciplines.

  • the Information Processing Approach to the human mind basics and beyond
    Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Daniel David, Mircea Miclea, Adrian Opre
    Abstract:

    Cognitive psychology attempts to understand the nature of the human mind by using the Information-Processing Approach. In this article, the fundamentals of the cognitive Approach will be presented. It will be argued that the human mind can be described at three levels-computational, algorithmic-representational, and implementational-and that the cognitive Approach has both important theoretical and practical/clinical implications. Finally, it will be suggested that the study of cognitive psychology can provide a foundation for other fields of social science, including the field of clinical psychology.

  • using readiness assessment to improve career services a cognitive Information Processing Approach
    Career Development Quarterly, 2000
    Co-Authors: James P. Sampson, Gary W. Peterson, Robert C. Reardon, Janet G. Lenz
    Abstract:

    This article begins with a review of the use of readiness assessment measures as a strategy for improving career services. A 5-step process model for readiness assessment is then proposed and current readiness measures are identified. Although considerable research has been conducted on career decision-making readiness and numerous measures have been developed, there has been limited literature available on the application of readiness assessment in selecting career interventions to meet specific client needs. This article continues with a theory-based conceptualization of readiness and then links readiness assessment to the selection of career interventions designed to meet clients' needs.

  • A Cognitive Information Processing Approach to Employment Problem Solving and Decision Making
    The Career Development Quarterly, 1999
    Co-Authors: James P. Sampson, Robert C. Reardon, Janet G. Lenz, Gary W. Peterson
    Abstract:

    This article applies a cognitive Information Processing Approach to career problem solving and decision making to the specific process of employment problem solving and decision making. Definitions and accompanying employment examples are followed by an exploration of the nature of employment problems. Content and process dimensions are described by applying Information Processing concepts to employment problem solving and decision making. Examples of positive and negative cognitions that have an impact on the effectiveness of employment problem solving and decision making are also provided.
