CONTACT:Sam Waller
DESCRIPTION:This talk will give you some insight in the problems of design
 ing inclusive user interfaces for people with a wide range of cognitive ab
 ilities and prior experience. I will present image schema theory as an app
 roach that taps prior experience at the sensorimotor level.  \nImage schem
 a theory can complement more traditional approaches to inclusive design\, 
 provide a number of guidelines (or population\nstereotypes) for mapping ph
 ysical user interface elements to abstract contents\, and can provide a me
 thod of designing more intuitive and more inclusive product interaction. I
  will present previous studies showing the viability of of the approach in
  user interface design as well as my ongoing research in the area of inclu
 sive design at the EDC.\n
