The Master's Program in Applied Cognitive Psychology: User Experience provides instruction in cognitive psychology research and theory, emphasizing how human information processing influences product and service design. User Experience (UX) employs an evidence-based methodology that prioritizes human needs, cognitive abilities, and behaviors when creating solutions. Effective design begins with knowledge of both psychology and technology, demanding clear communication - particularly from systems to users - regarding current states, upcoming changes, and available options. Through this program, you'll explore key cognitive principles that shape human abilities and design requirements, while mastering research techniques to evaluate design implementations and overall user satisfaction.
