    While there's a lot of debate about the subject, UX is an umbrella term for a number of separate disciplines - each of which go towards providing a successful user experience.

    This diagram gives one interpretation:

    UI design doesn't necessarily have to take stock of context, psychology or the motivation of users.

    A lot of UX practice involves researching problems that users currently (and potential will) experience with products and systems .. which allows hypotheses to be drawn about the best way forward.
