Carruth, D. W., Thomas, M., Robbins, B., & Morais, A. (2007). Integrating Perception, Cognition, and Action for Digital Human Modeling. Proceedings of HCI International 2007. Beijing, China.

Computational cognitive models are used to validate psychological theories of cognition, to formally describe how complex tasks are performed, and to predict human performance on novel tasks. Most cognitive models have very limited models of how the body interacts with the environment. The present research examines a simple human-machine interaction task and a simple object manipulation task. A cognitive model is integrated with a human avatar within a virtual environment in order to model both tasks.
