Refinements and Validation Testing of Human Operator Performance Emulator (HOPE).

Abstract

This report is the second of two major technical reports describing the development and testing of a computer simulation of manual control behavior. The simulation is called the Human Operator Performance Emulator (HOPE) and is unique in at least three respects. First, the simulation contains representations of structures and processes believed important in continuous control behavior, and thus has a degree of psychological validity not characteristic of other models of the same behavior. Second, the simulation models the learning of control behavior, and thus models behavior of both trained and untrained operators. Third, and probably most importantly, the simulation includes representation of a construct called control strategy, and was designed to measure control strategy in humans.
