Designing for Reflection on our Daily Mental Workload

Shaban, Jwan; Wilson, Max L.; Sharples, Sarah

Abstract

This paper presents a research plan, at the outset of new doctoral research, designing for reflection on cognitive personal informatics and self-tracking of Mental Workload. The research will build upon the Mental Workload cycle, considering how people reflect on their patterns and transitions between levels mental workload. The research is driven by the arrival consumer neurotechnology and how they will relate to and/or change our understanding
of personal informatics, as we bring cognitive activity into the mix. The doctoral research will involve three phases of work 1) Co-Design Workshops to understand mental models from how people reflect on their own cognitive activity, 2) longitudinal tracking of Cognitive Personal Informatics, and 3) understanding cognitive goal setting.
