A. I like the name cognitive engineering.  I was not aware that
Don Norman had coined it, but is catchy.

B. Ben Shneiderman did not form the Software Psychology Society after
the name of his book.  The Software Psychology Society had been
meeting here in the Washington area for several years before Ben's
book.  Ben was one of the three  founding members (the others being
Bill Curtis of GE (now ITT) and Jim Foley of George Washington U.).
The term Software Psychology was coined by Tom Love, then of
GE, then ITT, now an independent consultant.--
