Toward Cognitive Modeling for Predicting Usability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Historically, predictive human performance modeling has been successful at predicting the task execution time of skilled users on a desktop computer. More recent work has predicted novice behavior in web searches. This paper reports on a collaborative effort between industry and academia to expand the scope of predictive modeling to the mobile phone domain, both skilled and novice behavior, and how human performance relates to the perception of usability. Since, at this writing, only preliminary results to validate models of mobile phone use are in, we describe the process we will use to progress towards our modeling goals.

Re-usability of traffic signs for inactive drivers with consideration of personal characteristics and sign features
There has been an increasing concern about inactive drivers who would easily lead to road accidents and fatalities once return to driving. This study investigated the re-usability of traffic signs for inactive drivers with consideration of driver factors and cognitive sign features. Fifty-seven Hong Kong Chinese, who possessed a full driving license but had not driven for an extended period, co...
متن کاملAnalytical Model Based Evaluation of Human Machine Interfaces Using Cognitive Modeling
Cognitive models allow predicting some aspects of utility and usability of human machine interfaces (HMI), and simulating the interaction with these interfaces. The action of predicting is based on a task analysis, which investigates what a user is required to do in terms of actions and cognitive processes to achieve a task. Task analysis facilitates the understanding of the system’s functional...

متن کاملModeling Social Cues: Effective Features for Predicting Listener Nods
Human communication involves a number of verbal, vocal, and non-verbal cues that facilitate face-to-face communication. Building a computational understanding of how these cues facilitate social and cognitive processes enables new research directions in social and cognitive sciences and the design of socially interactive systems such as agents and robots. In this paper, we present preliminary w...
متن کاملAn AI Planning Perspective on Abstraction in ACT-R Modeling: Toward an HLBR Language Manifesto
Researchers have again become interested in the translation of abstract specifications into the knowledge structures of executable cognitive models. Our work has adopted the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL), as an abstraction language for the automated generation of cognitive models, in a process we call search-based modeling. Our PDDL-based compiler, though incomplete, is currently b...
