The Applied Cognitive Science Lab

Alok Parikh

Alok Parikh and Atin Bansal are graduate students in the Computer Science
and Engineering Department at Pennsylvania State University. They are
working on their Masters thesis in the ACS lab under Dr. Frank Ritter. A
current model of eyes and hands will be used to build a software around it.
Given a model of a telephone to the system,it should should predict the
response time of a human to learn the interface.It will have some
parameters which the user specifies to switch learning mode, fovea size,
distance from the instrument, number of calls to be made, etc. It will also
give a complete summary of the various things learned, mistakes found etc.
The software will be based on the Soar architecture and will use Lisp and
TCL/TK.
