Hi danielchu-ga,
I was able to locate some citations for you from askERIC.

I have also seperated the citations out by general class of articles
(i.e. overview, methodology, etc).
You may also be interested in two books by Donald A. Norman, "Things
That Make Us Smart" (1993) and "The Design of Everyday Things" (1988).
The books are published by Addison Wesley. Donald Norman is a guru in
the field of usability and the interaction between people and objects.
As such, the book may provide you with an excellent overview of the
field.

ABSTRACT: Explores the concepts of interaction and interactivity
presented in different theoretical models in the fields of
human-computer interaction (HCI) and information-seeking/searching
behavior, and relates these to information retrieval (IR) research.
Suggests that interaction in HCI is primarily concerned with
establishing a user/system dialogue at the user interface and does not
address the interactive characteristics of IR operational tasks.
Discusses three principle aspects of interaction. (AEF)

ABSTRACT: The design of five experiments comparing usability
evaluation methods (UEMs) is examined. Each has had an important
influence on human-computer interaction (HCI); however, problems with
experimental design raised questions as to the efficacy of various
UEMs. To obtain desired outcomes of the experimental method addressing
HCI issues, close attention must be paid to experimental design.

representations in human-computer interaction, and two approaches
based on the theory are described: one entails the description of
cognitive task models, and the other entails the production of less

TITLE: Escaping from Babel: Improving the Terminology of Mental Models
in the Literature of Human-Computer Interaction.
AUTHOR: Turner, James M.; Belanger, Francois Papik
PUBLICATION_DATE: 1996
JOURNAL_CITATION: Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science;
v21 n3-4 p35-58 Sep-Dec 1996
ABSTRACT: Discusses the problem of establishing terminology for mental
models, attempts to sort out the various meanings found in the
literature, and offers definitions that could help in developing a
more standardized terminology for discussing issues of concern to
researchers in human-computer interaction. The role of mental models
in learning and using information retrieval systems is examined. (AEF)

ABSTRACT: Analyzes interfaces supporting spoken, pen-based, and
multimodal input for their effectiveness in interacting with
interactive map systems. Results identified performance difficulties
with speech-only map interactions that declined substantially when
people could interact multimodally. Analyses also indicated that map
displays can be structured to minimize performance errors and
disfluencies effectively. (Author/AEF)

ABSTRACT: This study of 40 undergraduates examined whether aiding as
cognitive support (i.e., offering computer users knowledge they are

better and faster with irregularities when the computer provided
aiding. (PEN)
