Human Centered Design Fundamentals

Ng Hoe Lam, Eric

This is testing certificate Organised contents, contrasts, hierarchy, and spacing are all key takeaways for improving the user experience. In 1956, George Miller, who was working as a cognitive psychologist at Princeton University, asserted that the span of immediate memory and absolute judgment were limited to around 7 (plus or minus 2) items in their working memory. We, as humans, are challenged by remembering anything which is more than seven different pieces of information if they come at you in a short period, and you will likely forget them in less than 30 seconds. Miller's law directly opens up the issue of certain limitations when it comes to humans. Our brain processes just a certain amount of information in any communication, but we do not always can we grasp it to a full extent. As UX is much about the psychology of users, it’s essential to understand such impacts and produce products that impact the user’s experience.
