....or compete. Paredis [31] has argued that problem solving is the interaction of selection and combination processes at a micro level. In his work, these processes originate from the application of simple rules to pairs of elementary solution constituents. In yet another setting, Humphreys et al. [22] define Choose and Intersection primitives for human memory access systems to perform these functions. The symbol space exchanges information with the external world, and plays a key role in initiating sequences of state changes. It is not, however, necessary to suppose some higher level ....

.... pattern matching [17] Briefly, this model is built from study of human visual system, which finds that much of the visual data perceived by human being is redundant; some dominant points on the shape contour are rich in information content, and are su#cient to characterize a shape [6, 11]. Consequently, we define landmarks in a pattern to be those points having important shape attributes; i.e. those that form the joints of the skeleton of a pattern. By providing constraint on the landmarks, patterns can be defined from a macroscopic level, ignoring unnecessary details. Our ....

....many of which have been pioneered by the project s partner investigator (Prof. Humphreys) Theoretical advances that we draw upon include the development of connectionist models of memory [14] and mathematical speci cations describing the input output functions required to model di erent tasks [13]. Empirical advances that we draw upon include new experimental techniques for studying prospective memory (e.g. 4] and demonstrations of a wide variety of new types of memory errors due to misattributions of familiarity [1] and source monitoring errors [12] These advances allow us to develop ....

....Formal De nition of Error Producing Conditions As noted in the introduction, existing models of human error do not adequately describe conditions leading to error or the mechanisms for error. Current psychological theories on human error focus on the role of memory in the decision making process [13]. A central part of this process with respect to the ATC domain is the identi cation of hazardous scenarios by the controller. In this section we formally de ne simple models of the identi cation of the two hazardous sequencing scenarios discussed in Section 2: convergence and overtaking. ....

....2.1. Landmark concept Researchers in Psychology and Cognitive Science have amassed considerable evidence that human and animals depend on landmarks in organizing their spatial memory [6] Research into episodic memory has also produced results for organizing memory around landmark events [12, 3]. This all conforms to our daily experience. If one is asked to look at Figure 1(a) for a short period and then duplicate the chart, a relatively successful strategy is to memorize the positions of the turning points and reconnect them. These turning points serve as the landmarks in their charts. ....

....allow precise formulations of error to be developed. Our approach is based on a number of recent advances in cognitive psychology, including the development of connectionist models of memory [14] and mathematical speci cations describing the input output functions required to model di erent tasks [7]. These advances allow us to develop precise speci cations of the conditions and processes that lead to a wide range of human memory errors. A substantial body of related work deals with the integrated modelling of the operator with the computer aspects of a system. As in Duke et al. 4] we ....
