Most Influential Publications

Below are CEL’s five most influential publications, which have been cited an average of 66 times in the past few decades. As shown in their titles, these publications advocate an ecological approach. The first 4 publications are related to one of CEL’s conceptual frameworks - Ecological Interface Design, emphasizing respectively on theory, application and evaluation. However, the last publication innovatively applies the ecological approach to illustrate one famous phenomenon in cognitive science, thereby contributing to CEL’s cross disciplinary theme.
