explored generation heuristic and resemblance heuristic as mental short cuts that participants used to make decisions in facial recognition (Kleider & Goldinger‚ 2006). They designed 12 experiments with two groups of photographs and required participants to complete “exclusion (source memory) task” after memorizing faces. The generation heuristic was used in face recognition based on whether or not details of the memorized faces can be retrieved and the resemblance heuristic was used when the face

Natural observation occurs when researchers observe participants in their natural setting. When researchers use natural observation they do not change the environment the participants are in and the researchers do nothing to change the behavior of the participants. Natural observation is used when researchers are looking for a particular behavior but this can be a very time consuming method of research. The researcher has no guarantee that he or she will witness the particular behavior he or she

The evaluation is based on the three rules chosen from Shneiderman’s Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design and three rules chosen from Neilson Heuristics-Ten Usability Heuristics. The other method used for evaluation is the cognitive walkthrough in which the whole system is checked. Report shows the flaws and good quality of the interfaces based on the evaluation. 2.

Since the inception of the study of the mind‚ psychologists have endeavored to isolate the characteristics and causes of errors in human thinking. Researchers and theorists have developed categories of such errors: representativeness heuristics‚ availability heuristics‚ memory and hindsight biases‚ etc. . . . In other words‚ to err is human. In 1957‚ Festinger identified another phenomenon in human cognition--cognitive dissonance. Festinger theorized that humans experience negative emotions when
