---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some cognitive psychology references of interest to hypertext researchers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list has been compiled by J. Blustein. The entries are in BiBTeX format. Here are some references that I've found especially interesting in studying cognitive issues in the use hypertext. I am not a psychologist, cognitive or otherwise, but I study methods of generating and evaluating hypertext. Rouet's paper and Charney's chapter are, to my mind, excellent surveys.
