N2 - Human factors requires modeling techniques that capture how cognition and behavior are sensitive to environmental design. As such, techniques such as Anderson's rational analysis and Brunswik's lens model framework should be of interest to human performance modelers because they provide ways to analyze tasks and behavior as adaptive to environmental structure. We briefly describe both techniques and contrast them in the context of modeling visual search behavior. We conclude that these techniques can provide complementary resources for human performance modeling in human factors.
