COMPAss: A Space Cognitive Behavior Modeling and Performance Assessment Platform

Based on cognitive architecture, COMPAss (Cognitive behaviOr Modeling and Performance Assessment) – an integrated research & development platform oriented space manual control task is proposed. MRvD (Manual rendezvous and docking) control task is selected for cognitive modeling and human performance assessment. The MRvD cognitive behavior model is built on the platform by extract model declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and model parameters on the basis of experimental data, and the model’s validation is verified by comparing the process and results between model’s run and actual control. The verification result shows that the model is effective and model’s specific parameter can map human certain cognitive characteristic. Finally by comparing model performance with adjusting model’s parameter the human performance is evaluated. As an example how skillful degree influence on human performance for MRvD task is evaluated and a report for skillful degree vs. MRvD performance is produced on COMPAss platform.
