👉 Peterson's Computing Model, introduced by John Peterson in 1986, is a foundational framework that describes the stages of human-computer interaction and the cognitive processes involved. The model outlines five key phases: Perception, Attention, Memory, Learning, and Action. During Perception, users interpret sensory inputs from the computer; Attention involves selecting relevant information; Memory encompasses storing and retrieving data; Learning refers to acquiring new skills or knowledge through interaction; and Action is the process of using the computer to achieve goals. This model emphasizes the importance of aligning system design with human cognitive capabilities to enhance usability and user experience.
