Background

All kinds of robots and computer interfaces have a human appearance or human psychological ability. They can interact with people, provide people with all kinds of the necessary information, and play their role in various fields. The psychological model of human-computer interaction (HCI) is actually people's understanding of the HCI process itself. This psychological model includes not only people's understanding of the operation mode of the system itself but also their understanding of how the operation mode affects their own cognition and emotion. In essence, the interaction between humans and computers can be compared to the interaction between human beings, which has similar attributes and rules. A computer is an agent with a similar cognitive function to human beings. HCI is not a sequential information processing process, nor is it a process in which the computer passively accepts human instructions, but a process in which two interacting agents interact actively driven by their prior knowledge and motivation.

Psychology has the nature of social science, which can explain many social processes and social problems. The psychological model is an internal representation of how the system should work, and it is a part of the long-term memory system. Users rely on the psychological model for reasoning and mental simulation to predict the results of various operations, thus having the corresponding interaction behavior. Because the user's psychological model is often incomplete or wrong, it may have wrong behavior and bad interaction experience. In the process of HCI, a human is inevitably accompanied by a variety of psychological needs and emotional state changes. With the development of emotional computing, physiological computing, wearable computing, and other technical means, the future computer can more accurately and instantly identify human emotions, which is expected to make HCI more vivid, harmonious, and natural. When interacting with virtual individuals, designers usually choose preset programs to better understand the user's emotional state. When interacting with the robot, it tends to be more open, so it becomes more challenging for the robot to perceive the user's emotional state. However, these problems have been improved, such as visual, voice, or physiological cues to help the robot recognize the user's emotional state.

Based on cognitive psychology, the combination of HCI and psychological model in the intelligent era is of great theoretical significance for broadening cognitive psychology research, promoting the intersection of design, cognition, and human factors engineering. This Research Topic mainly collects the research on the human-computer psychological model, and collects original research papers with forward-looking, innovative, exploratory, and cross-cutting nature, for scholars in many fields to exchange. This Research Topic hopes to better guide the research and design of HCI in the intelligent era.

Frequently asked questions

  • Frontiers' Research Topics are collaborative hubs built around an emerging theme.Defined, managed, and led by renowned researchers, they bring communities together around a shared area of interest to stimulate collaboration and innovation.

    Unlike section journals, which serve established specialty communities, Research Topics are pioneer hubs, responding to the evolving scientific landscape and catering to new communities.

  • The goal of Frontiers' publishing program is to empower research communities to actively steer the course of scientific publishing. Our program was implemented as a three-part unit with fixed field journals, flexible specialty sections, and dynamically emerging Research Topics, connecting communities of different sizes and maturity.

    Research Topics originate from the scientific community. Many of our Research Topics are suggested by existing editorial board members who have identified critical challenges or areas of interest in their field.

  • As an editor, Research Topics will help you build your journal, as well as your community, around emerging, cutting-edge research. As research trailblazers, Research Topics attract high-quality submissions from leading experts all over the world.

    A thriving Research Topic can potentially evolve into a new specialty section if there is sustained interest and a growing community around it.

  • Each Research Topic must be approved by the specialty chief editor, and it falls under the editorial oversight of our editorial boards, supported by our in-house research integrity team. The same standards and rigorous peer review processes apply to articles published as part of a Research Topic as for any other article we publish.

    In 2023, 80% of the Research Topics we published were edited or co-edited by our editorial board members, who are already familiar with their journal's scope, ethos, and publishing model. All other topics are guest edited by leaders in their field, each vetted and formally approved by the specialty chief editor.

  • Publishing your article within a Research Topic with other related articles increases its discoverability and visibility, which can lead to more views, downloads, and citations. Research Topics grow dynamically as more published articles are added, causing frequent revisiting, and further visibility.

    As Research Topics are multidisciplinary, they are cross-listed in several fields and section journals – increasing your reach even more and giving you the chance to expand your network and collaborate with researchers in different fields, all focusing on expanding knowledge around the same important topic.

    Our larger Research Topics are also converted into ebooks and receive social media promotion from our digital marketing team.
