Just wanted to say thank you for posting this, I am not particularly well off, nor smart enough to actually do the work required to be useful at a conference like this, but I sure do love listening to it. Thank you for making my day better with such an interesting talk.
In computer science terms, your mind can recognize faces and color in constant time O(c), whereas shape requires somewhat of a linear search through spaces O(n) - this is very interesting! Also makes you think about the structures of the mind that must come together to make this a reality.
Consistency isn't a problem (see @ 34:30). Some level of consistency is usually helpful and appropriate. There's internal consistency and external consistency. Internal includes consistency of elements screen-to-screen, and on a single UI screen. External consistency includes UI standards for the device and blindly copying other apps of the same type. In any case, external consistency adopted out of fear that people can't use what they've never seen before is a problem.
I guess someone in this thread might have been pointed it out. If not, at 2:40, there was an error that I think a normal cognitive scientist would not ever make (but a nervous one might) - that is, the illusory triangle surrounded by pac-men is called "Kanizsa triangle" but not "Kansai triangle".
If you look at the other presentations on this RUclips channel, you'll notice that most -if not all- people at Google use Macs. After a little search on Google I found out that Google Employees have the choice between running Linux or OS X. The use of Windows is discouraged because of security concerns.
Fantastic! I look forward to use many of your applications in my work and enjoyment of my Android. Am going to share this presentation to provide stimulation of grey matter with others.
I don't get how that is so ironic. Sure, they are their biggest concurrent on the mobile market, but it's not like google has any significant competitor on the desktop market anyway. And Microsoft is a really big concurrent when it comes to web services overall, and actually on the mobile market market too.
I think he is just using the words of his chosen field of study. It is true, it would be preferable if he chose to say "'evolved' in a particular way..." but, it is just commonplace for him to use terms related to design and design theory through the parlance of his field.
Easy Google does not make computer and MAC is better than PC. Steve Jobs and Lawrence Edward were friends. Jobs always admired him. I think you are confused by the problems between Apple and Samsung and that has nothing to do with android.
A great talk. However, Alex should refrain from advancing a computationalist/reductivist worldview by referring to people as "biological machines" that have "hardware" and are "designed" in a particular way. Designed by whom? And where does one buy that "hardware". Sorry for turning this into a philosophical thing, but I think it's important not to advance such paradigmes when speaking in public.
awesome Video.. never knew so much of cognitive science behind the softwares we use daily..

Really helpful presentation. The examples and references to actual research are great. Thanks
That loading bar one was interesting.
Note: it's not actually the "Kansai" triangle but the "Kanizsa" triangle.
Fantastic!

Great talk. Some of the content (Gestalt, geon theory) comes from Colin Ware's excellent book, "Visual Thinking for Design."
Excellent talk! Excited to implement these tricks in my own designs.
When you access memory, you also modify it, which is part of the reason memory is so unreliable; reads and writes are tied together.
Very informative lecturer sir.
Great video.
Great presentation Alex! A lot of useful examples. Thank you!
Great talk, thanks Alex
is there any similar videos on RUclips ?. somebody help me to find.
I'm looking for the same thing
Insightful talk. Thanks
Very interesting talk!
Great talk!!

so fascinating!
That was really good. Thank you!

Hey I was going to write that
That's the first thing I noticed here.
Good~!!
little tidbit of info: everyone at google uses macs. :)
cool
Google conference using a MacBook lol
cool shit !!
How ironically android designer use Mac!
Um
Easy Google does not make computer and MAC is better than PC. Steve Jobs and Lawrence Edward were friends. Jobs always admired him. I think you are confused by the problems between Apple and Samsung and that has nothing to do with android.
1st 10 secs. Designer at Google. Uses Mac
A mac is pretty good for software developers.. But why the fuck google uses mac from apple?

why the fuck is he using a mac
google using "apple" products!!!
I am growing tired of Silicon Valley's self service praise, recycling the same shit over and over again, aren't you?
cool
