New Directions in Cognitive Information Retrieval presents an
exciting new direction for research into cognitive oriented
information retrieval (IR) research, a direction based on an
analysis of the user's problem situation and cognitive behavior
when using the IR system. This contrasts with the current dominant
IR research paradigm which concentrates on improving IR system
matching performance.
The chapters describe the leading edge concepts and models of
cognitive IR that explore the nexus between human cognition,
information and the social conditions that drive humans to seek
information using IR systems. Chapter topics include:
Polyrepresentation, cognitive overlap and the boomerang effect,
Multitasking while conducting the search, Knowledge Diagram
Visualizations of the topic space to facilitate user assimilation
of information, Task, relevance, selection state, knowledge need
and knowledge behavior, search training built into the search,
children's collaboration for school projects, and other cognitive
perspectives on IR concepts and issues.
