ABSTRACT
Ease and efficiency are two critical qualities of human-computer interfaces. In this address, I will first examine various contributing factors to these two qualities, including recognition and recall, open and closed loop control, controlled and automatic process [Schneider and Shiffrin, 1977; Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977; Schneider and Chein, 2003], mapping directness [Hutchins et al., 1985], unit of operation, and chunking.

Human Computer Interfaces Reconsidered: A Conceptual Model for Understanding User Interfaces
Human-Computer Interaction. Design and User ExperienceAbstractThe article assesses how human computer interfaces are conceptualized in HCI textbooks and proposes a revised model for understanding user interfaces. In the last decade a variety of novel user interfaces has been introduced. Both new input and ...
Towards a human-computer interaction model for voice user interfaces
CLIHC '19: Proceedings of the IX Latin American Conference on Human Computer InteractionThe user interaction with computer systems has evolved over the years, from Command Line Interfaces (CLIs), Graphics User Interfaces (GUIs), Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) and actually Voice User Interfaces (VUIs). The use of VUIs is increasingly common,...
Design Models for Computer-Human Interfaces
Computer-human interfaces are a Rorschach test for their designers-their inner views and biases are unconsciously reflected in the types of user interfaces they construct. There is no "best" way to design a user interface. Interface designers must be ...
