... , like the other service laboratories, is to conduct the basic and applied research and advanced technology development necessary to create future technology options for the Department of Defense. At the Warfighter Readiness Research Division of AFRL's Human Effectiveness Directorate we have initiated a research program focused on mathematical and computational cognitive process modeling for replicating, understanding, and predicting human performance and learning.

... THE SOLUTION: COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURES The purpose of all scientific disciplines is to identify invariant features and explanatory mechanisms for the purpose of understanding the phenomena of interest in the respective disciplines. Within the cognitive science community there is an approximately 50-year history of empirical research that involves using carefully constructed (usually simple and abstract)

... ONGOING COGNITIVE MODELING RESEARCH Our cognitive modeling research program at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Mesa Research Site is organized around a set of methodological strategies with associated benefits. First, we are using and improving on the ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought -- Rational)

... Our research in natural language modeling involves extending the double R computational cognitive linguistic theory to knowledge-rich, time-pressured team performance environments similar to those encountered in real-world situations, such as unmanned air vehicle reconnaissance missions (Ball et al., 2007)
