[ACT-R-users] CogSci2010: Workshop on Understanding, Predicting & Mitigating Error in Routine Procedural Tasks

[Anna L Cox]

Workshop on Understanding, Predicting and Mitigating Error in
<http://cognitivesciencesociety.org/uploads/w3.Cox.pdf>  Routine Procedural
Tasks 
Anna Cox, Duncan Brumby, Jonathan Back, Rick Cooper, Simon Li, Raj Ratwani,
Greg Trafton, & Wayne Gray 

(full-day)

 

When and Where?

CogSci2010 <http://cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference2010/index.html>
in Portland, Oregon on 11th August 2010 at the Oregon Convention Center.

 

Goals of the workshop

By bringing together researchers who are currently engaged in this topic the
workshop aims to consolidate the current knowledge base and identify the
next set of grand challenges in the area.  This will be achieved by
reviewing and making progress on the following questions:

.         To what extent can existing theories of routine sequential
behavior explain the range of empirical results?

.         How can the theoretical understanding of error be applied to the
design of tasks and systems?  

.         What are the directions for future research in this area?
