1. How designers work - making sense of authentic cognitive activities
Sammanfattning : In recent years, the growing scientific interest in design has led to great advances in our knowledge of authentic design processes. However, as these findings go counter to the existing theories in both design research and cognitive science, they pose a serious challenge for both disciplines: there is a wide gap between what the existing theories predict and what designers actually do.

2. Participating in a Story: Exploring Audience Cognition
Sammanfattning : Stories that the audience can influence (such as computer games and other interactive multimedia), in contrast to 'traditional' stories (such as books and cinema), present a challenge to fields which take narrative (story) as their study object. What is the difference between these two kinds of stories? Earlier theories have focused on differences in media, structure, or the audience's physical actions. LÄS MER

4. Picture Viewing and Picture Description: Two Windows on the Mind

In a series of studies, I investigate the processual aspects of picture viewing and picture description. LÄS MER
5. Learning System Thinking : The role of semiotic and cognitive resources

The challenge for the learner is to be able to think in ways that are supported by, and match, the representational format. A fundamental question for the science of learning concerns how this is achieved. LÄS MER
