New Cog Sci Journal Useful for Designers
Friday, January 29th, 2010
Wiley InterScience just announced a new journal, WIREs Cognitive Science, that should be very useful for designers. Full access to content is free (for a limited time) and part of the purpose of the journal is to be:
“An authoritative, encyclopedic resource addressing key topics from diverse research perspectives”
This should make it a goldmine for the cognitive designer interested in taking a evidence-based approach. For example, in the very first issue, an article on Deductive Reasoning, looks at the role of deductive reasoning from the point of view of logic, psychology and artificial intelligence. It provides a precise review of logical inference, probabilistic models, mental models and conditional reasoning.
