Early Influences

The history of human performance modeling (HPM) in the U.S. Army is described, the early influences and technological events that made it possible. Highlights of significant milestones are presented, including HPM efforts that were influential in influencing the U.S. Army's modeling practices and in changing system design. The latest challenges in cognitive modeling, advanced decision making, stressors, and the particular challenges of distributed and linked simulations are discussed as well as the prospect of using methods from neuroscience for validation of cognitive models.

Computer Interaction

Cognitive human performance models have enjoyed a rich history in human-computer interaction but have yet to make a widespread impact in system design, possibly because they are difficult to construct. We employed user-centered design techniques to develop a new tool that is easier to use than previous methods or tools. CogTool combines a familiar method of prototyping, modeling by demonstration, and the ACT-R cognitive architecture to enable user interface designers to make valid human performance models with little effort.

And Task

WinCrew is a human performance assessment tool developed by the Army Research Laboratory, Human Research and Engineering Directorate that implements the Wickens' Theory of Multiple Resources. WinCrew supports the hierarchical decomposition of missions into functions and tasks. As a demonstration of the capability of WinCrew, simulation models of the activities performed by bridge personnel on a Navy Guided Missile Destroyer DDG51 were developed. The scenarios were chosen to illustrate the potential of task network based human performance modeling to address reduced manning issues for naval ship operations. In order to fully exercise the functionality of WinCrew, four bridge models were developed. One scenario was modeled for four different manning, automation, and task allocation configurations. The scenario modeled was entry into San Diego Harbor. The major events for the bridge team were: bearing fixes, gyro error checks, turns, precision anchoring, and obstacle avoidance. Results of the effort demonstrated the utility of workload modeling for assessing human system integration alternatives for shipboard manning.
