Human-Factors Psychology,
also known as Human Factors Engineering, is the science of human behavior and capability, applied to the design and operation of systems and technology (Wikipedia.org). My academic research thus far has focused on investigating the human behavior and capabilities of creativity, problem-solving, and judgment/decision-making, as found within the systems governing the sport of baseball, the science of game theory/strategy, the field of music cognition, and the field of ethics.
