A statistical decision theory of cognitive capacity

该项目旨在研究人类认知系统的有限能力，以形成对我们周围世界事物的表征，并在真实的时间内对它们做出决定。 它的目标是提供一个基于认知表征的统计特性和对它们起作用的决策过程的认知能力的综合理论。它的预期成果将是一个统一的认知能力指标，使我们能够量化认知负荷如何影响决策的速度和准确性。它将有利于设计和评价高工作量的实时决策系统，并将有助于选择和培训这类系统的用户。

This project aims to investigate the limited capacity of the human cognitive system to form representations of the things in the world around us and to make decisions about them in real time. Its goal is to provide an integrated theory of cognitive capacity based on the statistical properties of cognitive representations and the decision processes that act on them. Its expected outcome will be a unified metric for cognitive capacity that will allow us to quantify how cognitive load affects the speed and accuracy of decision making. It will benefit the design and evaluation of high workload real-time decision systems and will contribute to the selection and training of users of such systems.
