Concept Acquisition and Artificial Plasticity
Malcon Anderson Tafner, Francisco Antônio Pereira Fialho · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 2000
Cognitive Ergonomics lies in the frontier of Cognitive Psychology and Artificial Intelligence. We call ‘processes’, the observed behaviors of individuals in some specific situation one wants to study. Mechanisms are theories explaining why we observe the processes we do. Simulators, able to implement these mechanisms in a computer, are the most powerful tools used by Cognitive Ergonomists for validating their hypothesis.
