Human computer interaction is the field concerned with how people operate and engage with computer systems, and with designing interactive systems that fit human abilities. The term was popularized by Stuart Card, Allen Newell and Thomas P. Moran in their 1983 book The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction, which brought cognitive psychology methods to the study of interfaces.
