Resulting from the need for greater realism in models of human and
organizational behavior in military simulations, there has been
increased interest in research on integrative models of human
performance, both within the cognitive science community generally,
and within the defense and aerospace industries in particular. This
book documents accomplishments and lessons learned in a multi-year
project to examine the ability of a range of integrated cognitive
modeling architectures to explain and predict human behavior in a
common task environment that requires multi-tasking and concept
learning.
This unique project, called the Agent-Based Modeling and
Behavior Representation (AMBR) Model Comparison, involved a series
of human performance model evaluations in which the processes and
performance levels of computational cognitive models were compared
to each other and to human operators performing the identical
tasks. In addition to quantitative data comparing the performance
of the models and real human performance, the book also presents a
qualitatively oriented discussion of the practical and scientific
considerations that arise in the course of attempting this kind of
model development and validation effort.
The primary audiences for this book are people in academia,
industry, and the military who are interested in explaining and
predicting complex human behavior using computational cognitive
modeling approaches. The book should be of particular interest to
individuals in any sector working in Psychology, Cognitive Science,
Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Engineering, System
Engineering, Human Factors, Ergonomics and Operations Research. Any
technically or scientificallyoriented professional or student
should find the material fully accessible without extensive
mathematical background.
