Abstract
In ergonomics the approach of cognitive modeling is crucial for the design of human-machine systems. With regard to the user interface design of future manufacturing systems eleven requirements for cognitive models are introduced. These requirements are used to evaluate a total of five cognitive models with regard to three ergonomic design paradigms: (1) the design of decision support systems, (2) the design for minimized stress and strain, and (3) the design for wholistic tasks and personal development. The evaluated cognitive models include Caccibue's Cognitive Simulation Model, Card's et al. Model Human Information Processor, and Rasmussen's Model of Human Performance. In addition, two explicatory models are evaluated: Newell's Unified Theories of Cognition and Anderson's ACT-R model. The results demonstrate a superiority of the Rasmussen approach concerning the first and third design paradigm. Concerning the second design paradigm Newell's Unified Theories of Cognition have the best evaluation result.
