Cognition
Extended Cognition
The hypothesis that tools and environments can be genuine parts of cognitive processes.
Open →Research
Where measurement meets AI governance.
Interface grows out of research traditions in psychometrics, cognitive science, human-AI interaction, automated decision-making, AI governance and knowledge-work design.
Cognition
Research traditions in cognitive science and human-centred design that ground Interface's augmentation and ergonomics principles.
Cognition
Distributed Cognition
How cognitive activity distributes across people, artefacts and environments.
Open →Cognition
Cognitive Ergonomics
Designing tools and workflows to fit human cognitive capacities and reduce unnecessary load.
Open →Cognition
Human-AI Interaction
How people understand, trust and work alongside AI systems.
Open →Measurement
Research traditions in psychometrics, measurement theory and assessment design that ground Interface's measurement and validation capabilities.
Measurement
Psychometrics
The theory and practice of measuring psychological attributes through observable responses.
Open →Measurement
Measurement Theory
The conditions under which numbers can legitimately represent attributes.
Open →Measurement
Validation Theory
Establishing that measurements and inferences capture what they are intended to capture.
Open →Measurement
