Human factors psychology studies behavior in a technological society and applies the results of these studies to the design of tasks and equipment. Among the goals of human factors psychology is making it easier and safer for people to use machines such as cars, airplanes, and computers, as well as improving home, work, and leisure environments. Moreover, human factors psychologists conduct research to broaden the base of knowledge about human capabilities and limitations. They apply that knowledge to the design, operation, and maintenance of machines, systems and environments so that optimum performance can be achieved.
Some current human factors research involves cognitive functioning, human-computer interactions, aging, development, human-animal interactions, and aerospace issues.
Do you see any relevance of these research, especially of HUMAN-COMPUTER interaction, in Nepal's context. How do you think the current day Nepal could use an expert in Human Factors Psychology specializing in Human-Computer Interaction?
