Cognitive Architectures for Human Factors in Aviation

There has been a great deal of investment and resultant progress in the development and evaluation of, improvements to, and comparisons of cognitive architectures over the last several decades. Not all — however, certainly the majority — of that work has taken place since the publication of Weiner and Nagel’s (1988) fi rst volume on Human Factors in Aviation, so it is understandable both that there was no mention of computational cognitive modeling or cognitive architectures in that fi rst edition, and also that the editors of the second edition are interested in expanding coverage of the text to include this relevant development in the scientifi c study of human performance and learning.
