About

The HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks Carroll mind map template provides a structured overview of 47 key concepts in human-computer interaction, covering models, cognitive architectures, and GOMS variants. It includes detailed branches on 'Models in General', 'GOMS Overview', 'Operators', 'Methods', 'Selection Rules', 'Conceptual Frameworks', 'Computational Cognitive Architectures', 'Keystroke-Level Model (KLM)', 'CMN-GOMS', and 'CPM-GOMS'. The template explores the 'Human Model Processor' and 'Zero-parameter models' for predicting short tasks, and explains how 'Conceptual Frameworks' describe cognition as 'search through a problem space'. This HCI cheat sheet is ideal for students, researchers, and UX professionals seeking a concise reference on foundational HCI theories.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks mind map template?

The template covers 47 nodes across 10 major branches, including Models in General, GOMS Overview, Operators, Methods, Selection Rules, Conceptual Frameworks, Computational Cognitive Architectures, KLM, CMN-GOMS, and CPM-GOMS.

How do I use this template for studying HCI theories?

Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then explore each branch to understand key concepts. Use the 'GOMS Overview' to analyze task performance, and refer to 'Computational Cognitive Architectures' for task-analysis techniques.

Is this HCI cheat sheet editable and printable?

Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind. You can add notes, reorganize nodes, and export as PDF or image for printing.

What is the difference between CMN-GOMS and CPM-GOMS in this template?

CMN-GOMS assumes strict sequential execution of operators, while CPM-GOMS, based on the Model Human Processor, allows parallel execution for more realistic modeling.

Can I customize the 'Selection Rules' branch for my own research?

Absolutely. The 'Selection Rules' branch describes personal rules for choosing methods; you can modify the nodes to reflect your own experimental conditions or user studies.
