For the inaugural issue of topiCS we have gathered a distinguished group
of cognitive scientists to reflect on the progress, pitfalls,
current status, and future direction of their area of expertise.
Our cognitive scientists reflect the diversity of our
field and will cover the following topics:
Cognitive Engineering — Stu
Card (PARC).
Working title: From GOMS to Google: Cognitive
Engineering in Pursuit of a Moving Target
- 2007 recipient of the Franklin Institute’s
Bower Award
- The Psychology
of Human-Computer Interaction. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)'s
SIGCHI’s first CHI Lifetime Achievement
Award
- 2007 elected
to the National Academy of Engineering
Expertise — Micki Chi (University
of Pittsburgh, Learning, Research, & Development
Center):
Working title: Active,
Constructive, and Interactive
The goal of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework
for understanding advantages of various kinds of talks
and activities. In particular, it attempts to differentiate
active from constructive from interactive, in terms of
observable behavior, resulting learning outcomes, and internal
processes. Empirical studies will be cited to support
this conceptual framework.
