An approach towards multitasking in ACT-R/PM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In human-machine-interaction, interruptability and resumption of different tasks are common aspects to influence human performance. To understand human behavior in such situations, we conducted a multitasking experiment where subjects had to perform a test of attention when driving. In this paper, we present an ACT-R/PM model on how people perform the test of attention (secondary task of multitasking scenario). This first model serves as basis for our long-term-objective: to model multitasking, i.e. to simulate how people interrupt a task and recover, considering and integrating individual differences in human performance models. The reported study is a first attempt and smoothes the way for ongoing studies.

Implementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference
In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...
متن کاملToward an ACT-R General Executive for Human Multitasking
While cognitive models of complex tasks have begun to incorporate increasingly sophisticated models of human multitasking, most models have utilized customized executives (Kieras et al., 2000) that fine-tune specific multitasking mechanisms for particular applications. This paper proposes a general executive for multitasking that facilitates the integration of separate task models and subsequen...
متن کاملA Multitasking General Executive for Compound Continuous Tasks
As cognitive architectures move to account for increasingly complex real-world tasks, one of the most pressing challenges involves understanding and modeling human multitasking. Although a number of existing models now perform multitasking in real-world scenarios, these models typically employ customized executives that schedule tasks for the particular domain but do not generalize easily to ot...

متن کاملDeciding when to switch tasks in time-critical multitasking
While cognitive modeling has begun to make good progress in accounting for human multitasking behavior, current models typically focus on externally-driven task switching in laboratory-task settings. In contrast, many real-world complex tasks, particularly time-critical ones, involve internally-driven multitasking in which people themselves decide when to switch between tasks. In this paper, we...
