The Optimal Control Model for the Human Operator: Theory, Validation, and Application,

Abstract

The Optimal Control Model for the Human Operator is reviewed. Underlying concepts are presented and the model structure is described. Special emphasis is given to the treatment of attentional workload, including the relationship between workload and closed-loop performance. Validating experimental results are presented, and both predictive and diagnostic applications of the model are reviewed. Areas of further model development and application are summarized. (Author)
