Abstrakt: Recent theoretical advances in the understanding of expert-level cognition have enabled the creation of software systems and tools that mimic the cognitive performance of human experts. These human performance models are termed cognitive models because they explicitly represent peoples' internal information processing mechanisms and knowledge. While the initial set of cognitive models and cognitive modeling systems focused on developing and testing psychological theory, a second generation of cognitive modeling tools has emerged, with a focus on creating cognitive models for use in application contexts. The range of practical uses of executable cognitive models covers design applications (for use in cognitive engineering), operational applications (for use within a fielded system), and training applications. The various possibilities are exemplified through a series of case-studies representing successful applications in interface design, decision and performance support, and intelligent training.
