Interface design should be informed by the application of top-down cognitive principles derived from basic theory and research. We applied cognitive design principles from two domains, event cognition and media, to the design of interfaces for teaching procedures. According to theories of event cognition, procedures should be presented hierarchically, organized by objects or large object parts ...

To that end, we design procedures which yield the same expected outcomes or carry the same information on others’ intentions while they have different outcomeinvariant properties. Agents are experimentally confi...

Procedural textures have significant advantages over image textures. Procedural textures are compact, are resolution and size independent, often remove the need for a texture parameterization, can easily be parameterized and edited, and allow high quality antialiasing. However, creating procedural textures is more difficult than creating image textures. Creating procedural textures typically in...
