COGNITIVE MODELS IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL — AN EVALUATIVE REVIEW
P. J. Daniels · Journal of Documentation · 1986
Selected current and recent work in the area of cognitive modelling is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to user models (that is, the model held by a system of a user). The relevance of this work to information retrieval is assessed and some attempts to include user models in IR systems are discussed. Implications are drawn for future work in IR.
