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.

Aviation remains one of the most active and challenging domains for
human factors and applied psychology. Since 1981, the biennial
International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) has been
convened for the purposes of (a) presenting the latest research on
human performance problems and opportunities within aviation
systems, (b) envisioning design solutions that best utilize human
capabilities for creating safe and efficient aviation systems, and
(c) bringing together scientists, research sponsors, and operators
in an effort to bridge the gap between research and application.
Though rooted in the presentations of the 17th ISAP, held in 2013
in Dayton, Ohio, Advances in Aviation Psychology is not simply a
collection of selected proceeding papers. Based upon the potential
impact on emerging trends, current debates or enduring issues
present in their work, select authors were invited to expand on
their work following the benefit of interactions at the symposium.
The invited authors include the featured keynote and plenary
speakers who are all leading scientists and prominent researchers
that were selected to participate at the symposium. These
contributions are supplemented by additional contributors whose
work best reflects significant developments in aviation psychology.
Consequently the volume includes visions for the next generation of
air management and air traffic control, the integration of unmanned
(i.e. remotely piloted vehicles) into operational air spaces, and
the use of advanced information technologies (e.g. synthetic task
environments) for research and training. This book is the first in
a series of volumes to be published in conjunction with each
subsequent ISAP. The aim of each volume is not only to report the
latest findings in aviation psychology but also to suggest new
directions for advancing the field.
