[ACT-R-users] Advice

[Frank Ritter]

a couple of thoughts:


1 if you have to interact with a particular interface, and have 
access to it, you can instrument it using the approach in 
http://acs.ist.psu.edu/papers/ritterBJY00.pdf

2 if you have not access to the interface, but have to use it 
exactly, then look at SegMan
     e.g., http://acs.ist.psu.edu/papers/ritterVRSASip.pdf  and segman at
     http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/stamant/segman-introduction.html

3 if you have a particular interface, but can duplicate it easily, 
consider ACT-R/PM (built into 6),
    and/or using cogtool to implement it and the model

While in the UK, you should visit UCL, where Richard Young is, and he 
often can provide some help to such projects.

best of luck,

Frank
ps.  if you are working in case 1 or 2, you may also want to use RUI 
to record user's actions
