Human-Computer Interaction Design Portfolio | Psychology Research Questionnaire

The objective of this questionnaire is to gather data in order to carry out research on the teaching of psychology, cognition and task analysis within an HCI unit of the type which you have been doing. I would be very grateful if you could take a few seconds/minutes to complete the following. Thank you. David Cox
