Computer Aided Modeling of Cognitive Performance Assessment Tests Using the Microsaint Software

Abstract

This report contains software documentation for a set of computer simulations developed, using the MicroSAINT software, to characterize human behavior in a subset of performance-assessment tests drawn from the Unified Tri- Services Cognitive Performance Assessment Battery (UTC-PAB). The goal of the effort is to characterize the cognitive functions that contribute to performance in the tests of the UTC-PAB. The purposes of this are to: (1) improve the prediction of stressor effects on human performance and (2) make it possible to generalize in principled fashion from performance on tests of the UTC-PAB to performance in operational settings. Keywords: Human performance; Human factors; Modeling; Cognition.
