The embedded video below is a one-hour talk given by usability guru and cognitive psychologist Don Norman. He discusses his 10 Rules for Successful Products. Factoid: Did you know that his landmark book, “The Design of Everyday Things” was originally called, “The Psychology of Everyday Things“? I guess psychology was a dirty word back then.

This post raises the question:
Just how many psychologists is Donald Norman?
ha, corrected!
I think some might say 3-4, at least.
I would say 3-4 is about right. One of the reasons I’m in Human Factors is “The Psychology of Everyday Things”, which I was required to read for my undergraduate cognitive psychology course.
