Title: Smartphones: “Easy”, “Portable” and “Fast”? The Impact of Device Stereotypes on Cognition
Abstract: Stereotypes are hugely in?uential in human-human interactions but have received little attention in human-computer interaction. This PhD sets out to investigate how individual’s stereotype their devices and the implications this may have on cognitive processes. In this talk, I will present the findings of an online survey asking participants about their device use and associations (stereotypes) they make with their devices. I will then discuss the impact this may have on mental processes, and present preliminary experimental results demonstrating the ability of device stereotypes to influence human-computer interactions.
