New cognitive capability scales for inclusive product design

Langdon, P. M.; Keates, S.; Clarkson, P. J.

Abstract

Existing capability scales, such as that of the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) are based on a practitioner defined concept of intellectual function that is not compatible with current psychology. This chapter addresses the design requirements of a set of putative cognitive capability scales from a psychological perspective. In order to assess capability for product design, a scale should address all aspects of cognition that may be involved in product use.
