Abstract

This chapter provides an explanation on rational analysis, ecological rationality, and closedloop modeling of interactive cognition and behavior. It describes the results of a study in which dynamic and integrated, computational cognitive modeling-or more specifically, pilot-aircraft-scene-taxiway modeling-was performed to shed light on the possible sources of error in aviation surface operations, more specifically, taxi navigation. This modeling effort was motivated by experiments performed in the NASA Ames Advanced Concept Flight Simulator. The focus of modeling efforts is placed on decision-related errors. It is concluded that there is reasonably good empirical support for the model.
