Research, Development, Training, and Evaluation (RDTE) Support Delivery Order 1: Computational Cognitive Models
Abstract
This document reports on work associated with the three-phase development of a psychologically-based Human Performance Process Model that can be used in the assessment of system performance. The first phase produced a preliminary architecture consisting of two parts: A "mass memory" composed of long term memory structures that supported associative activation, and a set of sensory, perceptual, cognitive and motor agents that communicated via message passing - writing messages to or reading messages from the mass. Phase 2 produced a revised architecture in which the distinction between memory and process disappeared and the resulting structures became active processing elements in a data flow structure. The addition to model development, certain activities associated with enroute Air Traffic Control were also decomposed in order to develop the basis for a scenario within which to prototype, program and test aspects of the revised model. The activities selected provided an opportunity to model single- and multitasking behaviors and performance.
