This site is about: (1) my professional self, (2) my research into cognition and (3) musings about the intersection of cognition and design.
Jason H. Wong
Basic cognitive research is a necessary component of successful user-centered design. Only through scientific thinking can we make technology intuitive and productive. My goal is to integrate basic research with useful applications.
Research from GMU’s Arch Lab featured on local news
Here’s a link to a news story done by the local Fox station for their nightly news. They explore how research done by professors and fellow graduate students in the human factors program improves transportation safety by understanding flying and driving performance in the face of interruptions.
The link should work with Firefox and Internet Explorer (no Safari) - the usability of this site could DEFINITELY use some work.
