Adaptive support of human attention allocation using cognitive models

This research investigates the support of human attention allocation. A fixed support system is compared with two forms of support which are adaptive to the user by using cognitive models. A liberal and conservative variant of the adaptive support are introduced. The goal of the support is to improve the task performance of the user during a tactical picture compilation task. Although the results of the conducted experiment have not shown a significant improvement in task performance when adaptive support is given, the negative effects of inappropriate reliance seen in fixed support where no longer resent in the adaptive condition.
