the Mathematics and Cognition Seminar will present
a lecture by Dr. Kevin Gluck of the Air Force Mesa Research Lab.
The topic will be:

"Overview of Computational Cognitive Process Modeling Research at the Air Force's Mesa Research Site"

Abstract.
 
 Integrative cognitive modeling architectures have evolved to the point where they can be used to describe and predict human performance and learning in complex, dynamic environments.  At the Air Force Research Laboratory's Warfighter Training Research Division in Mesa, AZ, we are using one such architecture, ACT-R (Anderson, Bothell, Byrne, & Lebiere, submitted), as a core model and theory development tool in our basic research program.  That research currently centers on empirical research and modeling in three areas:  (1) verbal communication, (2) visuospatial working memory, and (3) operating remotely-piloted vehicles.  In this presentation, I will provide a brief overview of the applied concerns motivating our basic research investments, the ACT-R architecture, and each of our current research focus areas.
