Human Performance Model Validation: One Size Does Not Fit All

Submitting Author: Dr. Michael Young
Abstract:
We describe a taxonomy of human performance model types and discuss some of the validation issues associated with the various classes of models. Key distinctions are made between models based upon a psychological theory, input-output models, and simulations of conjectured human behavior. We conclude by reviewing some ongoing human performance model programs to provide a flavor of some of the practical concerns that influence model validation.
