Spatial cognition is an important branch of cognition science and also very common in our daily life when people work together. In terms of human-robot spatial cognition interaction, it would be dramatic if the robot could interact with people like a human. So we designed an intelligent robot which could communicate with people in natural language and think on the human's perspective in spatial cognition...
In recent years, there has been significant interest in general theories of software engineering. In this article, we explore the utility of a theory of cognition, ACT-R, as a component of such a general theory. The ACT-R theory was instantiated to predict the effort of programming language comprehension for two cases: (i) a C program, and (ii) the corresponding Assembly program. An experiment was...
This paper briefly introduces the effort focused on developing an integrated cognitive model of the manual RVD task in the ACT-R cognitive architecture. The descriptions about the manual RVD task and ACT-R have been shown and preliminary analysis of the control strategies has also been made. The comparison results of the performance between human operators and the cognitive model show that the control...
The study of cognition is generally thought to rely on techniques for inferring cognitive processes that are unobservable. One approach to cognitive science is to leverage an understanding of structure and function of the nervous system based on observable neurological events to determine mental processing. Event-related potential (ERP) research offers one technique to objectively measure cortical...
We present a novel approach to User Interface optimization. A Genetic Algorithm is used to evolve an interface layout to minimize user task times. Solutions are evaluated using the cognitive architecture - Active Control of Thought - Rational (ACT-R) to simulate the human cognition and motor action required to complete the task. A development environment, TOISE, has been created to integrate the GALib...
This paper describes a practicing method for enhancing driver performance, which it bases on cognitive driver behavior model of ACT-R--a dominant theory of human cognitive architecture. First, the paper elaborates the idea of driver behavior modeling in cognitive architecture. And then, it dedicates the implementation of driver's practice courses based on the cognitive architecture model. Finally,...
In order to process multitasking driver behavior effectively, an improved driver cognitive behavior modeling method of ACT-R is proposed in this paper. The manual module and visual module of ACT-R are concatenated directly to cope with human subconscious/unconscious behavior. A parallel processing method is proposed to mimic the parallel reactions style of a given cerebral area of human brain's reaction...
