Abstract :
Software interface design is an important component part of human-computer interaction system. Users conduct information communication effectively with computers through software interface, and then to complete their task. Software interface design embodies ¿human-centered¿ design concepts, emphasize the perfect combination of ¿people¿ and ¿thing¿. During the process of software design, the designer depends on establish concept, users¿ behavior, interface design order and stands on the users¿ view, from the users¿ standpoint, giving full considerations to the needs of users. Combining with some basic principles of cognitive psychology, this paper analyzes the cognitive behavior of software interactive interface design from the cognitive aspect of information processing, perception, memory, thinking, and users¿ psychological response characteristics in the process of software interface, and combining with the basic characteristics of the usability testing, this paper puts forward the improving method of software interactive interface design, explores the software interface design influences on users, and tries to find elements which can improve the interaction and availability of software interactive interface and makes the software interface design more usability and humanization.
