Abstract: We consider the application of cognitive models to a range of problems in mobile telecommunications. In particular, consideration is given to the characteristic patterns that emerge in how people use mobile content in a natural environment. Using cognitive models drawn from the literature on decisionmaking, preference and semantics, we show that the mobile content environment possesses a range of interesting psychological properties, which can be used to further both pure and applied research goals.
