Hans Krebs' discovery, in 1932, of the urea cycle was a major event in biochemistry. This
article describes a program, KEKADA, which models the heuristics Hans Krebs used in this …

Although complex problem solving has emerged as a field of psychology in its own right, the
literature is, for the most part, widely scattered, and often so technical that it is inaccessible to …

Human-computer interaction (HCI) investigators must consider the sequential nature of
interaction and must often weigh behavioral, cognitive, and social factors when studying and …

Methods for studying user behavior in HCI can be informally divided into two approaches:
experimental psychology in the laboratory and observations in the workplace. The first …
