The Model Human Processor: A Model for Making Engineering Calculations of Human Performance
Stuart K. Card · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 1981
It can be argued that one of the chief impediments to progress in human engineering is the lack of a model of the human information-processor posed in such a way as to enable approximate engineering calculations to be made of human performance. The Model Human Processor is an attempt at such a model. The use of the model is illustrated through sample computations.
