[ACT-R-users] Motor error in manual module?

[Wayne Gray]

Tim,

You do know Bonnie's thesis work?

John, B. E. (1996). TYPIST:  A theory of performance in skilled typing. Human-Computer Interaction, 11(4), 321–355.

It is not an ACTR paper but, as discussed a few months ago, we do not have an ACTR model that does typing and without such a model it would be hard to model errors.

Good luck

Wayne

I do not need a high-fidelity account of such errors, but I do not want to ignore these errors. Any pointers to previous ACT-R models, or other models, that account for such errors would be appreciated.
