Speed the video up to 1.25x if you find he speaks too slowly - you can still understand what he is saying perfectly fine and the lecture goes by a lot faster without missing any of it.
Regardless of the quality of the presentation, the quality of the content is extremely valuable to anyone seriously interested in UI/UX design.Thank you for sharing this information.
Very helpful video, you never would have thought that cognitive psychology would have so much to do with design. But why wouldn't it? Are we not humans do we not react to the things we see? It all makes so much sense. Thank you Jeff very informative talk!
Oh the gestalt principle: Symmetry, I actually saw the two arrows on top of one another first because of the context from which I come. To wit, user interface design for websites. I deal with arrows that look like that so often, the shape pops out immediately wherever I see it.
24:00... My brain just learned that the 'overlapping triangles' shape can be comprised of '2 L-shapes', as they slide into view. And now, that's how I see the right image, yet still see the two overlapping triangles in the left image, strangely enough....
what is the focal length of the lens? And are you using a high quality camera with a large sensor and wide dynamic range on a sturdy tripod? A regular consumer point and click camera or even mid-range won't give you good results for that purpose, especially if it's using a "wide-angle" lens.
He made a lot of good points in the presentation, but it was rather annoying that the UA-cam video does not show what he is pointing at on the classroom screen. So, for example, when he shows the graph of rod/cone density in terms of distance from the optic nerve, he keeps on mentioning where he is pointing, but it does not show, so it is hard to figure out what he is really talking about. But his explanations of how to use "cognitive psychology" (some might call it "cognitive science") to achieve UI goals ("Don't make the user think too hard, don't make him think too hard") is great. It is a pity that even many of the commenters here still do not get it.
It was annoying, but it had nothing to do with the UA-cam video, but rather the production team that records the lecture at the university. They are usually run by students and maybe didn't take into consideration or don't have the type of equipment necessary to project both a digitized view of the slide and switch to the presentation simultaneously.
How do you explain, when I see the moon with my eyes its very hi resolution and seems very close but when I take a photo it looks so far away and seems very small. I always feel like I can see things better with my eyes than I can in photograph and I always disappointed in the photograph. It never captures what my eye sees.
I took screenshots at 39:09 and at 39:19 what I got are totally different colors 0c0e0e (square A) and 131613 (square B) 0d100d (square A) and 0c0f0c (square B) I do understand there is a distortion caused by compression and other factors, but I don't believe those squares were same from the beginning
well you have to admit that "the audience" is asking pretty stupid questions after he explained the theory even for people who are enrolled into a university.
"The principle of symmetry is that the brain parses whatever's seen as in front of it in such a way to extract the smallest number of most least highly symmetric objects" God damn, I like the content here but following this speaker is rough.

i know Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Reed Jose flixportal :)
@Sam Sterling thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it!
@Reed Jose Happy to help :)

Very Informative! Saw this at the speed of 1.5 and enjoyed it ! To add to this, Professor has a good sense of humor.

Read his book. It was excellent and recommended.
It was really fascinating!

Found the slides on SlideShare: www.slideshare.net/guest45d695/jeff-johnson-psych-101-the-psychological-basis-for-ui-design-rules-522929

Agree and have the same question!
It's because of focal distance and light sensibility. Basically, you need a better camera.
I took screenshots at 39:09 and at 39:19
what I got are totally different colors
0c0e0e (square A) and 131613 (square B)
0d100d (square A) and 0c0f0c (square B)
I do understand there is a distortion caused by compression and other factors, but I don't believe those squares were same from the beginning
in the country that I'm lviing in we even didn't have such as experience
He didn't really design his slides with the mind in mind.
Lol ironic
yup, agree on that picture they actually are of same color 787878
36.44.... Well that was unnecessary
it's a tactic to get students to wake up and pay attention. ive had a few professors like that =)
Audio balancing makes it annoying though. Wouldn’t even think about it if the audio levels were lowers during weird screaming parts
well you have to admit that "the audience" is asking pretty stupid questions after he explained the theory even for people who are enrolled into a university.
For a quick overview skip to: 36:44
you don't always need to follow "class" rules.

The basic issue with what you're saying is that Universities aren't government institutions.
"The principle of symmetry is that the brain parses whatever's seen as in front of it in such a way to extract the smallest number of most least highly symmetric objects"
God damn, I like the content here but following this speaker is rough.
yeah, he isn't the best public speaker...
Wow, man! These students are so embarrassingly slow on the uptick... Great lecture though, thanks much.
The guy doesn't seem to respond much to his audience, giving off this "Yeah whatever" attitude
0:11 I don´t bealive that this is a god =)
Videos. Da. Minha. Jessica
36:44
Bro, my headphones where *all* the way up
Great lecture!
Some of which I would consider as common sense... in hindsight of course. lol
hahahaha well done
this guy clearly didnt practice haha
This guy didn't introduce himself or try to connect with the audience at all. BORING
That was useless. "the dog is going to get you basically"???
Zzzzz. Billions of slides
u caused me an accident lol
