[Design] Recommended viewing: talk on Cognitive Science and Design

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

I just love this Google I/O 2013 talk on human perception and
cognition, and its implications for interactive and visual design. It
is accessible, but with a lot of information and applies very well to
us I think.

I'm sure that many designers know all about this and some have
probably seen the clip before, but it is also very good for
developers, because many of these things we know subconsciously, but
it's not really part of our vocabulary.

Thanks for sharing this DJ. It speeds through a lot of varied content
and going into the depths of each topic has been
educative.

Is there a text summary? Video is so hard.

Rough headings from the talk:
* Gestalt psychology
* Layout & Culture (RTL/LTR for UI)
* (Peripheral) Vision: Perception times
* Geons and Object Recognition
* Facial Recognition
* Perceived Affordances
* Color Deficiency
* Tetrachromats
* Colors and Culture
* Selective Visual Variables
* Working Memory/Long Term Memory/Chunking
* Interruptions and Flow
* Trust
* Text and Culture
* Recognition vs Recall
* Learning with examples

I really recommend watching the video though. Hope this helps.
