CB...this taken from the Stanford paper:

Traditionally, interface designers have had as their goal
the creation of software “tools' that would allow users to
perform particular tasks easily and effectively. Methods
and theories from Cognitive Science and Psychology that
deal with the conscious performance of mental tasks (e.g.
GOMS and keystroke models, task analysis, protocol analysis) and visuomotor tasks (e.g. Fitts Law, SR Compatibility) were adapted to create core methodologies in the study of human-computer interaction [1].

Adaptation of theories and methods from Cognitive Science in interface design has been highly selective. The emphasis on semantic similarities (e.g. of a word processor with a typewriter, or a visual calculator with a paper spreadsheet) has reduced the need for design methods that rely upon basic characteristics of human attention and perception.


One way Thoughtshare appears to be superior and perhaps unique? is in its ability to sort, organize, and share data in a manner that is visually appealing. The programming behind Thoughtshare is original in that it is based on cognitive science and psychology.

A software that acts in a manner we tend to think!!! And looks real purdy too...LOL.
