Visual Interaction: A Link Between Perception and Problem-Solving

Abstract-The approach taken in this research is to de-velop a cognitive model of how a human observerr extracts dmcl-The information from a visual display and then uses this per-ceptual information in a decision-making task. Knowledge ~ e e about this relationship provides information about the oc-currence of perceptual events in the course of problem-solving activities, and suggests that perceptual assistance in the form of image enhancements is a useful supplementt t d to the user's own abilities.i Thisi knowledge is then to be embedded in an intelligenti ent computerized assistant which is designed to facilitate and I/timulate the human problem-solving process
