And Task

Modeling user decision making and problem solving tasks has become a basic requirement for identifying user needs and task requirements and the prerequisite step to developing user interface technologies. In our work in developing new user interface concepts for naval command centers, we have been using cognitive modeling techniques to capture the goals and actions of users, represent those goals and actions as cognitive models, and use those models to assess the utility of user interface options. The purpose of this paper is to show how cognitive modeling has becoming a fundamental component of our design process, and is being used to assess user interface options before actual prototype development commences.

This panel discusses the potential of a multi-level approach to the study of individual differences to enhance both theory and practice in human factors. Neural, genetic, cognitive, and psychometric studies are presented, and each panelist describes research using two or more of these approaches. Panelists demonstrate how assessment of individual differences informs cognitive modeling and discuss the implications for selection, training, and the individuation of interface design are discussed.
