Abstract
This paper presents the development of a cognitive model of cognitive lockup: the tendency of humans to deal with disturbances sequentially, possibly overseeing crucial data from unattended resources so that serious task failures can appear—e.g., in a cockpit or control centre. The proposed model should support the design and evaluation of user interfaces that prevent such failures, being used outside the academic community. Based on the practical cognitive task load theory of Neerincx (2003), this model distinguishes time pressure and number of tasks-to-do as two factors that increase task switch costs and the corresponding risk of cognitive lock-up. The CASCaS architecture proved to fit best with the requirements to incorporate these factors and to support the UI engineering process.
