چکیده

Cognitive models allow predicting some aspects of utility and usability of human machine interfaces, and also simulating the interaction with these interfaces. The action of predicting is based on a task analysis which analyses 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 functionalities of the system to be modeled. Cognitive models are part of the analytical approaches that do not make necessarily appeal to the user during the interface development process. This paper presents a study about the evaluation of a human machine interaction (HMI) with an interface of a contextual assistant, using ACT-R and GOMS cognitive models. It shows how these techniques may be applied in HMI evaluation, design and research, emphasizing on the task analysis in one side, and on the time execution of tasks in the other side. In order to validate and support our results, an experimental study of user performance, during the interaction with the contextual assistant interface is conducted at the DOMUS laboratory. The results of our models show that both models GOMS and ACT-R give good to very good predictions of user performance at the task level as well as the object level, our results are very close to those obtained in the experimental study. Keywords—HMI, interface evaluation, cognitive modeling, user modeling, user performance.

Evaluation of the Effect of Zirconia and Titanium Abutments on Microleakage of Implant-Abutment Interface Under Oblique Cyclic Loading In Vitro

Background and Aim: Oral bacteria can proliferate in the implant-abutment interface (IAI) and cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to assess the effect of zirconia and titanium abutments on the microleakage of the IAI under oblique cyclic loading conditions. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 12 implant-abutment assemblies with zirconia...

Acquiring User Models to Test Automated Assistants

A central problem in decision support tasks is operator overload, in which a human operator’s performance suffers because he or she is overwhelmed by the cognitive requirements of a task. To alleviate this problem, it would be useful to provide the human operator with an automated assistant to share some of the task’s cognitive load. However, the development cycle for building an automated assi...
