Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

Charness, Neil, Hoyer, William, Stones, Michael and Cerella, John (1987): Aging and Skilled Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. p. 21.

There has always been considerable controversy in gerontology over the extent to which age-related decline on laboratory tasks generalizes to real world performance. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in assessing performance in more realistic tasks. In this panel, we will be concerned with how the aging process affects performance in domains where people had a great deal of practice with the tasks, through life-long experience or via extended practice in the laboratory. Performance in experience-related domains versus unrelated ones will also be discussed.
