In an increasingly digital world, understanding the interaction between human cognition and technology is central to both designing and using technology effectively. This course investigates the reciprocal relationship between the human mind and digital interfaces, with a focus on how cognitive science—encompassing cognitive load, attention, memory, perception, and decision-making—shapes and is shaped by technology. Students will analyze existing apps and create their own, gaining insight into UX principles grounded in cognitive science to create intuitive, accessible, and efficient designs. Through hands-on research and app prototyping, students will bridge the gap between theory and practice, refining their UX design skills.
