Abstract
This paper is concerned with the implications of recent work in cognitive science for the study of human-computer interaction. One feature of the communicative competence of humans is their ability to take the perspective of their listeners. The computer counterpart of this ability — user modelling for intelligent tutoring systems — is examined and critically evaluated. Other relevant areas in cognitive science, including work on planning and communication, principles of dialogue, and belief systems, are considered as potential sources of input to the development of advanced human-computer interfaces.
