Human Performance Modeling

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Human performance modeling (HPM) is a traditional human factors method of quantifying human behavior, cognition, and processes; it's a tool used by human factors researchers and practitioners for both the analysis of human function and for the development of systems designed for optimal user experience and interaction. The goal of most human performance models is to capture enough detail in a particular domain to be useful for the purposes of investigation, design, or evaluation; Human performance models contain both the explicit and implicit assumptions or hypotheses upon which the model depends, and are typically mathematical - being composed of equations or computer simulations - although there are also important models that are qualitative in nature. It is a complementary approach to other usability testing methods for evaluating the impact of interface features on operator performance. This has been another Human Factors Minute!
