Your brain on UITextField

Maura Goodwin talk on “This is your brain on UITextField". Here is her description of the talk

"We’ll look at UI from a perspective informed by reading research and basic neurology. To better understand how these topics are relevant to app design, we’ll focus on two common UI elements: UITextFields and UISliders.

To provide specific examples for each UI element, we’ll consider Type 2 Diabetes. Millions of people have this condition, and some of these patients are functionally illiterate. This raises interesting questions for UI design.

The goal of this presentation is to help coders think about how UITextFields and UISliders can be incorporated into projects, and what unique benefits each of these UI elements can provide."

and her intro "— Maura Goodwin has an eclectic background, including working at:

• a law library, software companies, curriculum development and online instruction, a non-profit, and school districts (teaching reading, and remedial readers).
• her interests in literacy and public policy morphed into a strong interest in how to write software that might help people with limited reading skills better navigate the modern world. She’s still working toward that goal, and does not foresee a time when it will become irrelevant. "
