The HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODELING TECHNICAL GROUP The Human Performance Modeling Technical Group focuses on the development and application of predictive, reliable, and executable quantitative models of human performance. In distinction to other approaches to behavioral and cognitive modeling, human performance modeling considers the human, engaged in some goal-directed behavior, in the context of a designed task environment.

    Does anyone in our Technical Group have experience with Validation and Verification of Human Performance Models?   I would like to collaborate with others who have tackled this problem.​

    I believe all researchers in our TG have the experience because all the models need to be verified and validated. Verification checks whether a model is built/coded as intended without bugs. Validation checks whether model prediction fits well to human data.

     

    A good brief introduction of such methods can be found here:

    which is a paper published by Dr. Changxu Wu. He is a previous Chair of this TG.

     

    I think how to tackle your problem is also affected by the application domain and the type of model you are building.
