Abstract
This chapter presents an introduction to models of human performance and their use in computer-based engineering. It focuses on a particular human factors design problem, which is the problem of design of cockpit systems for advanced helicopters, and on a particular aspect of human performance, its vision, and related cognitive functions. A model is a representation or description of all or a part of an object or process. There are many different types of models, and they are developed for a variety of reasons. Models of human performance have long been used in the human factors design of complex systems to answer questions about the ability of the human to function satisfactorily in the system and about the ability of the system to achieve the objectives for which it is being designed. Modern computer technology is changing this situation and is making it possible to develop models of much greater complexity and comprehensiveness that can represent human performance with greater depth and breadth than was possible with earlier modeling technologies.
