show moreThis question is at the forefront of Dr. Amy Schwartz’s research. As an Adjunct Lecturer at Segal and a human-centered design researcher with a PhD in cognitive psychology, Dr. Shwartz works to humanize technology and design. The most important feature of her work? The study of people (ie: psychology). How do people think? How do they work? What are the possible barriers that prevent a design from being useful to someone? Are these barriers social, physical, mental, or cultural?
In Episode 08 of To Be Designed, hosts Leah Parsons and Carolyn Hagler chat about Dr. Sshwartz’s work, as well as make their own connections between cognitive psychology and human-centered design.
