INFORMATION PROCESSING MODELS: BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS
Paul T. McCabe · 2003
The information processing approach to human cognition remains very popular in the field of ergonomics. However, in recent years, an alternative approach has arisen: ‘situated cognition’. Situated cognition stresses the extent to which human beings related dynamically with their environment (Hollnagel, in press). However, there are few generalised discussions of the advantages of both approaches in a pragmatic human factors context.
