Ambardar, Anita Kak (1988): Human-Computer Interaction: Analyses of Individual Differences and Decision-Making. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 826-830.

The primary purpose of the present program of research is to answer the following questions: 1. Do fundamental cognitive individual differences interact with specific human / computer interface features? 2. What cognitive dimension, beyond experience, are really important to human/computer interaction? 3. Aside from the classification of users into "expert" and "novice" categories, is a given interface design equally good in supporting the problem solving activity of any particular person? The main goal of this research is to establish the extent to which more global, enduring and basic cognitive characteristics of the target users must be considered in the design of human/computer interfaces. Specifically, the hypothesis being tested is that individual differences in various dimensions interact with features of human/computer interfaces. Furthermore, by taking these interactions into account, such interfaces can be optimized to user populations of differing cognitive styles.
