Two Gift Ideas for Cognitive Designers
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009For $0.99 an iPhone app called eCBT from MindApps that is the first phone-based application of cognitive behavioral therapy for mood disorders that I am aware of
It’s not that cognitive designers are moody, but eCBT is such a cool application of cognitive design.
Second, for the more scholarly designer, or just anyone wanting to get back to first principles for the holidays, there is for $99 a new edition of the classic, Cognitive Psychology: A Student’s Handbook. Check out the table of contents and free chapter on attention and performance here. I especially like Chapter 15 on Cognition and Emotion. Is the illusory distinction between intellect and effect beginning to slip away? That would be a great present!
Feel free to share your gift ideas.
