Can Cognitive Modeling Improve Rapid Prototyping?

چکیده
Rapid prototyping is an area in which cognitive modeling is not frequently used. We examine some of the reasons behind this and argue that cognitive modeling could play an important role. Specifically we argue that usability testing could be improved by testing simulated users. We review the benefits that this methodology could offer and discuss one approach to building a simulated user using ACT-R to embody a GOMS-like memory structure.

Application of the Extreme Learning Machine for Modeling the Bead Geometry in Gas Metal Arc Welding Process
Rapid prototyping (RP) methods are used for production easily and quickly of a scale model of a physical part or assembly. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a widespread process used for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. In this process, in order to obtain a desired welding geometry, it is very important to predict the weld bead geometry based on the input process parameters, which are voltage...
متن کاملAccountable Modeling in ACT-UP, a Scalable, Rapid-Prototyping ACT-R Implementation
ACT-UP is a toolbox implementation of the ACT-R cognitive architecture, aimed at allowing rapid prototyping of complex models. With ACT-UP, we propose Accountable Modeling, where the only model components that are specified are those supported by empirical evidence and part of the model’s theoretical claims. ACT-UP is a library providing a programmatic interface to the classical ACT-R functiona...
متن کاملMethods to Improve Surface Finish of Parts Produced by Fused Deposition Modeling
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the rapid prototyping technologies that can use plastic material, which can be effectively used for making patterns for investment casting. The surface finish of the investment casting depends upon the surface finish of the pattern. But the surface finish of the parts produced by using FDM is not very good as compared to wax patterns, which are conventi...
متن کاملModeling Tools for Predicting Driver Distraction
In contrast to the vast amount of modeling work focused on desktop user interfaces, recent work has increasingly focused on “off-the-desktop” interfaces, one prime example being in-vehicle interfaces used while driving. This paper highlights four recent approaches to predicting driver distraction from in-vehicle interfaces as secondary tasks: hand-crafted modeling with the full-fledged ACT-R ar...
متن کاملSlicing Algorithm of VRML Model in Rapid Prototyping
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) as an international standard for Virtual Reality, has already been widely adopted for graphical representation of 3D objects over the Web. Adopting VRML model in RP (Rapid Prototyping) can reduce the precision loss which is caused by triangulation in generating STL file. Hence exploring a slicing method and software for VRML model is significant to impro...
