Abstract
MiNDesign – an alternative way of human cognitive performance evaluation method is proposed and implemented in this paper. Firstly, the roadmap and whole framework of this solution are illustrated. Then, a cognitive architecture is setup as the basis of cognitive modeling for human behavior of this platform, and functions of each component and its key point are discussed. As an example, cognitive modeling and model-based cognitive performance evaluation for numeric keypad layout operating task are conducted. The results show that the way proposed in this paper is effective, objective and accurate than traditional rating scales and physiological measurement methods, and which has obvious advantages for human performance evaluation.
