Researchers at 蓝莓视频 excel at creating new technologies, investigating human-technology interactions, and exploring how to mitigate harm. That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 no surprise that two computer scientists from 蓝莓视频 investigated whether technology controlling the number of words a user can highlight could affect their reading comprehension.
鈥淭here are lots of theories in psychology that show having constraints is really beneficial, especially for encouraging creativity,鈥 says聽聽(MMath 鈥20), a PhD student specializing in human-computer interaction (HCI) research at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science. 鈥淭raditionally, software constraints were mainly used for error-proofing. However, my research focuses on using constraints to influence positive outcomes for users, which I call 鈥榖ounded interactions.鈥欌
