Cognitive Performance Modeling

Designers want to know how users will interact with their systems, but they
often do not have the time or resources to test their designs with actual
users. This is especially true for systems intended for trained users. It
can be expensive to train users with a prototype, but unskilled users do not
interact with a product in the same way as a skilled user. Cognitive
performance modeling aims to solve this problem by predicting how a skilled
user will interact with a system. Simulation and analysis take the place of
expensive training and testing.
