Towards a computational model of perception and action in human computer interaction

Abstract

The evaluation and design of user interfaces may be facilitated by using performance models based on cognitive architectures. A recent trend in Human Computer Interaction is the increased focus on perceptual and motor-related aspects of the interaction. With respect to this focus, we present the foundations of HiTEC, a new cognitive architecture based on recent findings of interactions between perception and action in the domain of cognitive psychology. This approach is contrasted with existing architectures. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
