Improving Human Cognitive Processing by Applying Accessibility Standards for Information and Communication Technology

Abstract

Abstract. This article concerns with human-computer-interaction (HCI) from a neuroscientific perspective. The motivation for this perspective is the demographic transition, which shifts population structures of industrial nations. The authors will explain consequences of the demographic transition in terms of HCI and establish a hypothesis for these research activities. To evaluate this hypothesis the authors develop an approach, which combines different disciplines. This approach examines the effects of IT-accessibility on human cognitive processing. Therefore, required methodologies and instruments will be explained, discussed and selected. Possible effects of IT-accessibility on human cognitive processing will be illustrated with an acknowledged cognition model. The result of this article will be a concept, which enables the measurement of IT-accessibility impacts on human cognitive processing.

Diagnostic beam absorber in Mu2e beam line

“…For the surface water, if the sump pumps that pump the under-drain operate once a week, the contamination levels will be less than 1%. For the air activation at the estimated 1000 cfm flow rate, the annual amount of the activated air released will be about 0.43 Ci in a year [4]. The operation of the diagnostic absorber will constitute a small fraction of the total air and water contamination releases due to the μ2e beam losses.…”
