{"pk":31913,"title":"Integrating Cognitive Capabilities in a Real Time Task","subtitle":null,"abstract":"NTD-Soar is a model of the perceptual, cognitive, and motor actions performed by the NASA Test Director as he utilizes the materials in his surroundings and communicates with others to prepare for a Space Shuttle Launch. The model, built within the framework of a serial symbolic architecture, is based on a number of independently designed general cognitive capabilities as well as a cognitive analysis of a particular task. This paper presents a detailed description of the model and an assessment of its performance when compared to human data. NTD-Soar's ability to display human-like real-time performance demonstrates that symbolic models with a serial bottleneck can account for complex behaviors which appear to happen in parallel, simply by opportunistically interleaving small elements of the different subtasks.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Refereed Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pb598rm","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Greg","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nelson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Jill","middle_name":"Fain","last_name":"Lehman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Bonnie","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"John","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1994-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31913/galley/22978/download/"}]}
