A cognitive psychologist and an industrial design engineer draw on
their own experiences of cognition in the context of everyday life
and work to explore how people attempt to find practical solutions
for complex situations. The book approaches these issues by
considering higher-order relations between humans and their
ecologies such as satisfying, specifying, and affording. This
approach is consistent with recent shifts in the worlds of
technology and product design from the creation of physical objects
to the creation of experiences. Featuring a wealth of bespoke
illustrations throughout, A Meaning Processing Approach to
Cognition bridges the gap between controlled laboratory experiments
and real-world experience, by questioning the metaphysical
foundations of cognitive science and suggesting alternative
directions to provide better insights for design and engineering.
An essential read for all students of Ecological Psychology or
Cognitive Systems Design, this book takes the reader on a journey
beyond the conventional dichotomy of mind and matter to explore
what really matters.
