Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

Bushey, Robert R. (1995): Investigating Cognitive Process Models. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 963.

Cognitive modeling is an approach to describe, explain, and predict behavior. This study constructed and simulated a set of models to describe behavior in a decision-making task. Two experiments are reported, and the results indicate that the models predicted performance quite well. Subjects who used an "Object" (i.e. the subject manipulates graphical information as objects) strategy to manipulate information had distinctly different decision making processes and performance from the subjects who used a "Numeric" (i.e. the subject converts graphical information into numerical form) strategy. The simulation results clearly demonstrate that process models can represent actual behavior. Both the mean and the variance of the models were well within a reasonable predictive range compared to the actual performance. Eye tracking data, collected in the second experiment, provided a very rich environment and independent confirmation of the models.
