EVENT DETAILS |
In this presentation, acclaimed UX expert Peter Pirolli will discuss a series of increasingly complex human-information problems and contexts that have been addressed over the years by increasingly complex theories and models of human cognition and behavior. The problems and contexts include information foraging. intelligence analysis, learning technical domains, and mastering changes in ones own lifestyle. The cognitive models have been used to come to a deeper understanding of the cognitive ecology of human-information interaction in these contexts, to develop new user modeling techniques, with the aim of supporting the development of new human-information interaction techniques.
SPEAKER BIO
Peter Pirolli is a Research Fellow and Area Manager in the Interactive Intelligence Area at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he has been pursuing studies of human information interaction since 1991. Over that time, he has been a member or leader of groups that have created entirely new fields of research in the psychology of human-computer interaction, information visualization, information foraging theory, sensemaking, and social information foraging. His current interest is in computational neurocognitive models to support artificial intelligence systems that help people change to healthier lifestyles.
Prior to joining PARC, he was an Associate Professor in the School of Education at UC Berkeley. Peter received his doctorate in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University in 1985. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for Psychological Science, the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Education, and the Association for Computing Machinery SIGCHI Academy. He is the author of Information Foraging Theory: Adaptive Interaction with Information.
